AFTER almost 30 years of making music and performing together, this year will see the last Belshazzar's Feast tour around the UK in April and May.
That’s All Folkies!, their final album, was released in December 2021 and features new music plus fresh arrangements and recordings of the duo’s favourites from their previous nine albums.
The band said: “You've already had too much of a good thing. We've long outstayed our welcome in the Travelodges, service stations and garden centres of the world, so it's high time we headed for new pastures/were put out to grass. Catch us while you can.”
Audiences can look forward to an inspired mix of songs and tunes (both modern and traditional), which combine to create a heart-warming, beautiful and frequently hilarious evening of music and entertainment.
Acclaimed musicians Paul Sartin (oboe, violin, swanee whistle and vocals) and Paul Hutchinson (accordion) are notorious for their superlative ability, wit, rapport, and depth of experience.
Together they have entertained audiences across the UK, Australia and beyond with their eclectic and eccentric mix of tunes, songs and humour that sends audiences home with a smile.
Belshazzar’s Feast has previously released nine critically acclaimed albums across their twenty-five-year career.
Their first winter-themed album, Frost Bites, earned them a nomination for Best Duo at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
Their last album, The Whiting’s On The Wall was “one of the most intimate and entertaining live albums I’ve heard,” according to Songlines.
They will play in Somerset at the Strode Theatre, in Street, on Sunday, April 24.
