To book a ticket to any of the house-concerts, just get in contact with Jezand he'll get you on the list. In case you don't know who we are, here's the blurb...
Canada's Prairie Balladeer Scott Cook, fresh from touring Australia, is an award-winning, tirelessly travelling songwriter with a deep down caramel voice that has audiences spellbound from the moment he says "Howdy Folks...". He has been described as "one of Canada's most inspiring and imaginative story-tellers", and brings years of roads, a canny sense of humour and a wealth of humanity to his songwriting and stage-craft.
Jez Hellard is a singer of potent songs, stunning harmonica player and fine guitarist, mostly to be found touring with his band, The Djukella Orchestra. Originally from Cumbria, he's been touring the world playing music for as long as he's been able.
Scott and Jez first met at the top of a stairwell on the island of Taiwan in 2001 and take every opportunity to tour together when geography allows. Their duo show is sure to put a spring in your step.
