Glastonbury Town Council are holding A Night with Steve Knightley as their first arranged event, and time is running out to get your tickets for the event.

This is an exciting opportunity to see Steve Knightley, who is the songwriting force behind the phenomenally successful acoustic roots duo Show of Hands, as well as being a fine singer and musician.

The show is on Friday 4th October at the Glastonbury Town Hall. Tickets available from Eventbrite and are selling fast.

From a rock background, Knightley is known for his strong narrative songs (many inspired by people and places in his native West Country) and cogent, inventive lyrics.

His rock style rant Country Life and anthemic rally call Roots were both nominated for Best Original Song in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, while Show of Hands have won the categories Best Live Act and Best Duo.

At the 2010 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Steve won the coveted Best Original Song category with his topical and widely acclaimed song aimed at bankers and MPs – Arrogance Ignorance and Greed. Steve's solo appearances have included Glastonbury and Larmer Tree festivals.
