FOLK fans can enjoy two stalwarts of the genre on consecutive weekends.

First up at Worcester’s Huntingdon Hall tomorrow (Saturday) is Phil Beer, one half of the highly acclaimed duo Show of Hands.

His new solo tour takes inspiration from his musical influences and collaborations with the likes of The Albion Band and Johnny Coppin.

Then on Friday, January 18, it is the turn of John Kirkpatrick, the 2010 BBC Folk Musician of the Year and frequent contributor to the BBC programme Victorian Farm.

His show will take the audience through a year in the countryside, with musical commentaries on each season.
