Miranda Sykes, the acclaimed singer and bassist with ‘Show of Hands’ returns in 2020 with her latest album and UK tour.

Miranda will be heading to the beautiful Duddon Valley on the 8th of February when she plays at the Browfoot Rooms in Ulpha.

After a career spanning over 20 years, during which time she has played with many of the top musicians and singers within the folk world, she will be touring as she started out: One woman, one bass, and one guitar.

After the success of the 2019 tour, this is another opportunity to experience the show.

Best Of London Life: “I just cannot rid myself of the notion that a generous genie comes out of the bottle, when she sings, to change our lives, for the better, just for a while.”

Living Tradition: “It is a delight”…

Rock n Reel:
“Miranda Sykes has spent so much time working with Show Of Hands its easy to forget what a good solo performer she is…It’s gorgeous and very compelling stuff”

Froots:
“It’s not just the percipient choice of songs that make Miranda’s new album so special – it’s also her bravely pared-down performances… Behind The Wall is a thoughtful and intelligently sequenced project”

Where Borrowed Places opened a window into the past, explaining where she had been, physically and spiritually, Behind The Wall is a Roller Coaster Ride exploring where we are going; Miranda, you, me, all of us. What does it mean to be human today, living in our communities and societies and where will our actions lead us?

Powerful and hard-hitting but also poignant and beautiful, this show gives us all a chance to reflect and maybe even empower us.

With her sensational voice, and accompanying herself, Miranda interprets the soul of the land and takes her audience on a journey that resonates with us all, wherever we live and it is one you won’t want to miss.
