ENGLISH instrumental duo The Hut People, one of the best-loved acts on the UK folk scene today, will be performing at The Courtyard on Saturday, July 9.

Over the last three years, The Hut People have taken audiences on a musical journey around the world. Mixing global rhythms with folk tunes from Quebec to Spain, Scandinavia to Sussex and everywhere in between, their show is a quirky celebration of our rich musical heritage.

Accordionist Sam Pirt and percussionist Gary Hammond both have extensive backgrounds in music - having been part of and performed alongside legendary acts such as The Beautiful South, Nina Simone, The Dubliners and Sharon Shannon.

The Hut People’s show is like nothing you’ve ever seen before – expect feel-good dancing tunes, audience participation, step dancing, Quebecois foot-percussion (whilst playing the accordion!) and humour aplenty.

The Hut People will be at The Courtyard on Saturday, July 9 at 8pm. To book, call the box office on 01432 340555 or visit courtyard.org.uk
