Steve Knightley and Jenna will play our final folking.com @ the Farnham Maltings Spring season of shows this Wednesday 23rd May in the Great Hall at the Farnham Maltings.

Steve Knightley is the song-songwriter that front's the multitalented trio "Show of Hands" who are undoubtedly one of the UK's most popular and talented folk and acoustic artists. Easter Sunday was there penultimate concert of the year when they sold out the Royal Albert Hall. Q Magazine described Knightley as "a prolific and talented songwriter with an astounding voice, 'vast and windswept". His latest song "roots" was used by many organizations on St Georges day to celebrate Englishness and his new solo album "Cruel River" is receiving critical acclaim from many in the music industry. His material has been featured on the Bob Harris, Mike Harding and Mark Radcliff Radio 2 shows and the current solo tour with up and coming West Country singer Jenna is really gathering momentum.

Steve Knightley and Jenna will play the Great Hall at the Farnham Maltings on Wednesday the 23rd of May 2007

Steve and Jenna did a real belter of a performance at the Conford Village Hall on Saturday 28th April. The village hall was packed to the gunnels and we were treated to mix of new songs from Steve's excellent new album Cruel River and Jenna's hotly awaited "Barefoot & Eager". What I loved about the show is the way that the new songs were mixed in with some stripped down SOH favourites.

Here is a snippet from the "Cruel River" album review on www.folking.com….

"Steve Knightley's new album "Cruel River" is a very strong piece of work that features well crafted songs and tunes throughout. The album is balanced really well and tracks like "Tall Ship Story" & "Raining Again" ring out with the Knightley trademark Cuatro driving rhythm with "Raining Again" playing out as a sequel to "Country Life". "Poppy Day" and "All Quiet on the Western Front" are fine examples of why the likes of Bob Harris are praising Knightley's song-writing".

With the tour building momentum I'm counting the days until they both play the Farnham Maltings on Wednesday the 23rd May. The Great Hall has the capacity for you all to come and see the show (well 454 of you) so let's fill the place and give Steve and Jenna the support their brilliant new albums deserve.
