Brooks Williams and Aaron Catlow

'Musical chemistry that sets the stage ablaze'

Brooks Williams, “Top 100” acoustic guitarist and singer songwriter, with violinist Aaron Catlow, founder of Sheelanagig, create a fiery, fearless sound of Americana, folk and country blues.

There’s the bluegrass-swing of Gillian Welch’s “Red Clay Halo,” complete with aw-shucks whistling; the Celtic-blues of their self-penned “Anniesland”, a song for the late-great Rab Noakes; and their metal-like riff-driven arrangement of Molly Tuttle’s “Dooley’s Farm.”

With three highly praised albums to date, the Williams-Catlow high-energy collaboration will release and tour their fourth album this year, provisionally called Working in Wood.

“How such a complete and sensational sound can come from just two voices and two instruments is awe-inspiring.” AmericanaUK

Tickets: standard £18.50 and £12.50 under-26
