Belinda O’Hooley (The Unthanks) and Heidi Tidow are the chamber-folk duo behind The Fragile, their genre-defying new album. Their debut Silent June was one of MOJO Magazine’s Top 10 Folk Albums of 2010.

Nominated for Best Duo at the 2013 B.B.C. Radio 2 Folk Awards, their beautifully unusual songs touch on everything from dark folk tales, ecology and cross-dressing historical figures through to the invisibility of the elderly and the global economy. Live, they are an irresistible blend of thought-provoking song, striking arrangements, sublime harmonies and cheeky Yorkshire banter.
