SPECIAL CONCERT
O’Hooley & Tidow
St George’s Bristol
Saturday 6 May | Doors 7.30 pm
*not part of the weekend festival pass
Much-loved Yorkshire duo Belinda O’Hooley & Heidi Tidow have been propelled to newfound fame for penning the theme tune to Sally Wainwright’s hit BBC1/HBO drama ‘Gentleman Jack’, earning them global admiration, an acting role for Belinda on the iconic TV drama Happy Valley, appearances on Radio 4 Woman’s Hour & concerts that sell out months in advance.
Belinda & Heidi’s boundless songwriting has been described by The Guardian as ‘exceptional’ & The Independent as ‘defiant, robust, northern, poetical, political folk music for the times we live in.’
Their first full studio album in seven years; ‘Cloudheads’ delves into the passions & inner worlds of two highly individual autistic women; Belinda & Heidi. Moving & melodic, Cloudheads spans stories of parenthood, the call of a song thrush, & a portrait of the last days of the touching relationship between their neighbour Matthew & his beloved Alsatian, Ted. The duo even pull off a collaboration with Gentleman Jack herself, Suranne Jones on ‘The Ballad of Anne and Ann’.
O’Hooley & Tidow gave our most-loved performance of 2022, so we have invited them back to perform a special full-length set for 2023.
