A HAWK AND A HACKSAW - UK & Ireland tour + PORTISHEAD support slot
A Hawk And A Hacksaw have announced a UK tour as well as being confirmed to support Portishead this spring. Having played at the Bristol band’s request at All Tomorrow’s Parties last December, AHAAH join up with Portishead for their Portuguese, Italian and UK legs of their European tour before embarking on their own set of live dates across Britain and Ireland.
For the Portishead tour, the regular duo of Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost will be joined by Ferenc Kovács (trumpet, violin), who appeared in the line up for The Hun Hangár Ensemble and Chris Hladowski from Scatter and Nalle(bouzouki/clarinet/bratch). The group will be performing their singular synthesis of eastern and western folk music, taking inspiration from the last century and beyond.
Following these dates AHAAH will be back again in May to play a string of headline shows in the UK and Ireland culminating in their appearance at the Explosions In The Sky curated All Tomorrow’s Parties at Butlins Minehead.
