Four of the finest and most influential musicians of the 21st century will be on stage at Hebden Bridge Trades Club next week.
Brian Finnegan from Lau and Aidan O’Rourke from Flook have joined forces with ace young guitarist Ian Stephenson and master Manchester drummer Jim Goodwin to embark on a daring and innovative new musical path.
The band is a unique melding of the flute virtuosity of Brian Finnegan, the fiddle deftness of Aidan O’Rourke, the intuitive drumming of Jim Goodwin and the playful guitar reinventions of Ian Stephenson.
A Trades Club spokesperson said: “These four have an alchemy that is wonderfully hypnotic - not to be missed.”
They will perform on Thursday, February 14.
Tickets are priced £10/£7. Doors open at 8pm.
