🌟Celebrate 35 years of The Hall Brothers at Ilkley Playhouse in two weeks!

🎶Brothers Nick and Duncan Hall bring their signature mix of soaring sibling harmonies and virtuoso guitar playing to this special anniversary show. Performing together as The Hall Brothers since 1991, they’re celebrating 35 years of their distinctive brand of folk rock. Whether as a duo or with other acts (including Nick with Plumhall and Duncan with the Rob Dylan Band), their live shows are always something special - and this one promises to be no exception.

🎶They’ll be joined by long-time collaborator John Carey (fiddle), along with a powerhouse rhythm section: Chris Bunyan (drums/percussion) and Jennifer Pugh (bass). Audiences will enjoy music spanning their full musical journey, from intimate acoustic duo to full folk-rock five-piece.

🎭Be immersed in the drama...

🌦️The allies are on the brink of invading an occupied Normandy. The fate of the war rests on careful coordination between land, air, and sea - an assault that would go down as the largest amphibious invasion in military history. David Haig’s Pressure brings the events of D-Day to the stage, focusing on the crucial decisions of a Scottish meteorologist, whose forecasts played a vital role in helping general Dwight D. Eisenhower to determine whether the weather would allow the invasion to proceed - with no room for error...

🌦️Pressure opens THIS THURSDAY at Ilkley Playhouse!
