Tickets are still available for an evening with Blackheart, the new stars of British contemporary folk at the Conygre Hall, Timsbury, on Sunday March 14 at 7.30pm.

Blackheart, featuring Chrissy Mostyn and Rick Pilkington, are widely regarded as the fastest rising new stars of the British acoustic scene and have had their unique style of music christened Urban Folk by the UK music press.

Combining the sound of traditional acoustic folk instruments with a totally modern approach to their songwriting, they have a unique style of beautifully-crafted, instantly memorable songs, which take their audiences on an emotional roller-coaster ride from sadness and sensitivity to the most energetic rocking folk that has audiences on their feet.

Their sound features the lemon and honey voice of Chrissy Mostyn and the acoustic guitar playing of Rick Pilkington.

The songs they write are personal true stories about everything from hometowns and homelessness to faith and bereavement and they tell fascinating, sometimes hilarious and sometimes very moving stories about the songs, how they were written and also about their unusual musical life on the road

Recently hailed as the most exciting British songwriting duo of the decade and now signed by Angel Air Records they have released two albums and two singles of which their release Wednesday Afternoon got national UK airplay and reached number nine in the US Tower folk chart.

Other successes include a track on a major television commercial (Moben Kitchens), BBC Radio 2 Song of the Day (twice) and single Bleak Midwinter which reached number one in the NCM Euro Chart.

Their schedule of about 150 shows a year has consolidated their name as one of the hardest working and audience inspiring acts on the folk scene today.

Tickets, costing £8 , can be booked in advance by calling Myra Hayward on 01761 470471.

A licensed bar is available.
