This show has sold out.
Fritillaries are thrilled to bring their tour show to the Blackmore Theatre. They’ll be playing as a fourpiece stringband, in one of only four unique shows, with Kit Massey on violin and Andy Hamill on double bass, plus guest performances from Exmouth Railyway Folk and Acoustic Club.

Fritillaries
Playing together since childhood, Hannah and Gabriel share a unique intimacy and ability to draw audiences into their world. Their debut album - about places and people missed and found in isolation, and things found growing when we dig down into spaces the light doesn’t reach - was released on Pear O’Legs Records in July to widespread critical acclaim and support from BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music.
This event will be one of only four stringband dates on the album tour (London, Birmingham, Bristol, Exmouth), with the duo being joined by Andy Hamill (Laura Mvula, Annie Lennox, Martha Reeves) on double bass and Kit Massey (Aphex Twin, Anna Calvi, Pete Tong) on violin. As a four-piece, Fritillaries bring deep groove, lush strings and moments of joyous uplift.
"outstanding… an enthrallingly scenic, tranquil and fruitful debut … capturing the purity, inventiveness and talent of the duo’s playing” - Folk Radio UK
