Final act at folk club

Acclaimed duo Belshazzar’s Feast are the final guest act of the year at The Willows Folk Club in Arundel, playing a special festive-themed show at the club on Wednesday, December 14.

Club spokesman Chris Davis promised a duo combining beautifully-crafted, moving folk songs and instrumentals with a healthy dose of comedy and pure entertainment value,

“From the very beginning Belshazzar’s Feast, a duo comprising the talents of multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Paul Sartin and gifted accordion player Paul Hutchinson, stunned audiences up and down the country with their brilliant live performances, including a much talked about appearance at the 2001 Sidmouth Folk Festival.

“Commitments elsewhere saw the duo disband a couple of years later, during which time both of the two Pauls, as they are known, enjoyed great individual success with bands such as Faustus and Hoover the Dog respectively.

“However, eventually the duo succumbed to the consistent demand for a Belshazzar’s Feast reunion, and so reunited a couple of years ago. Soon after this they returned for a gig at the Willows which was a barnstorming success, and so the club is proud to welcome them back for another memorable evening!

“For this particular appearance, Belshazzar’s Feast will be performing a special festive and winter-themed concert, including material that featured on their successful album Frost Bites, featuring the usual stunning musicianship and great comedy that audiences have come to expect from an evening with Belshazzar’s Feast.

“The duo have toured this show on previous years, always to a great audience response, and even performed a couple of numbers from their festive set on BBC4 last year.
