Belshazzar's Feast
Nominated for best duo at this years BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, Belshazzar’s Feast are Paul Hutchinson (accordion) and Paul Sartin (oboe, violin and vocals) Their amazing musicianship coupled with wry humour stunned audiences around Europe and the States. After a brief sabbatical, they're back! If you like Mozart, Beethoven, Elvis Presley and The Spinners avoid them - you have been warned!
Paul H also plays with progressive folk trio Hoover The Dog whilst Paul S is a member of big band Bellowhead and English Music Trio Faustus.
Belshazzar’s Feast start with traditional folk music, add a touch of classical and jazz, throw in a bit of pop and music hall, and top it off wry humour for a completely unique live experience. They have released two successful albums ‘Food Of Love’ & ‘Frost Bites’ both released by Wild Goose Records.

'My personal find of the festival - Paul Hutchinson and Paul Sartin play like no-one else you've ever heard. Their music is breathtaking and wickedly inventive and the between-tunes interchange as intelligent and hilarious as the music. But don't let me give you the impression they're a lightweight comedy act: they finish the set with a haunting piece of oboe and accordion magic which has the audience spellbound.'
