Performance NotesThe phenomenally popular Show of Hands will mark their 25th year with a return to one of the world’s most famous stages – the Royal Albert Hall.

Show of Hands are known for their genre-hopping music, which focuses on strong narrative songs often touching on rock, blues and country. Singer songwriter Steve Knightley and multi instrumentalist Phil Beer have forged one of the most successful ever partnerships in acoustic roots music with four previous sell-outs at this iconic London venue to their name.
