A gig on Friday 19th June. The event starts at 19:45.
Belinda O’Hooley is an acclaimed pianist, singer, songwriter and composer celebrated for her expressive and distinctive musicality. Best known as one half of O’Hooley & Tidow, with her wife Heidi Tidow, she has been nominated four times for the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. The duo’s song “Gentleman Jack” found international recognition as the theme for the BBC/HBO drama of the same name.
Her piano playing - elegant, inventive, and emotionally charged has made her a sought-after collaborator with artists including Rufus Wainwright, Nic Jones, Sophie B Hawkins, Jackie Oates, and Rachel Unthank & The Winterset, with whom she received a Mercury Prize nomination.
Belinda’s artistry also extends to acting, most recently in her role as DCS Liz Thornton in the BAFTA-winning drama Happy Valley.
