South coast folkie Steve Knightley will bring his solo Songs & Stories tour to Manchester’s Hallé St Peter’s. The Show of Hands founding member is a pivotal player in the English folk scene, having received plaudits from BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson and accepting patronage of standout genre gatherings like Sidmouth Folk Week, St Ives Festival and Shrewsbury Folk Festival. His warmth of performance and delivery of tales from the sea and land will find homely surrounds in the St Peter’s venue, and is a chance to catch his solo show before a full-band UK tour in April.
