About the show

This event will sell out. Please purchase your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.


It wouldn't be Christmas without the annual O'Hooley & Tidow concert in their home village of Marsden at the beautiful St Bartholemew's Church.


And It wouldn't be Christmas without Heidi joining Belinda to make this a very special, intimate winter concert filled with love, joy and probably a few tears too.


Join them.


This event is wheelchair accessible and also has a wheelchair accessible toilet.


Belinda and Heidi’s boundless songwriting has been described by The Guardian as ‘exceptional’ and The Independent as ‘defiant, robust, northern, poetical, political folk music for the times we live in.’ Moving, melodic, dramatic and tender, from stories of parenthood, the call of a song thrush, to a portrait of the last days of a touching relationship between their neighbour Matthew and his beloved Alsatian, Ted, and even a collaboration with Gentleman Jack herself, Suranne Jones on The Ballad of Anne and Ann, they explore, consider and connect subjects and stories in a distinctive, inventive and memorable way.


Having the originality and skill to invite comparison with the most celebrated harmony duos, 6 Music’s Tom Robinson says ‘They sing together in the way families do. Normally, you only get that closeness in the voices with family bands like The Coppers or The Watersons.’


“Boundless songwriting and exquisite harmonies that truly shine.” The Guardian *****


“Brilliant and beautiful.” Maxine Peake

O'Hooley & Tidow appearing at this event
With a personal invite from Billy Bragg to play Glastonbury, sessions on 6 Music and Radio 2, a five star live review and feature in The Guardian, chosen as one of MOJO’s Folk Albums of 2014 for groundbreaking album The Hum, and a nomination for ‘Best Duo’ in 2015’s BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards; O’Hooley & Tidow are regarded as lionhearted trailblazers of contemporary music and songwriting. Having the originality and skill to invite comparison with the most celebrated harmony duos, from early Simon and Garfunkel to the iconic Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Belinda and Heidi’s powerful, deeply moving, and at times spine-tingling performances are infused with an honesty and empathy that will disarm even the hardest of heart.
