| One of the unusual venues Butser Iron Age Roundhouse, |
The 10-date Out of the Ordinary tour which runs from May 10 to 27 will see the award-winning pair taking their enchanting and almost mystical sound across England and Wales.
No strangers to performing in churches to add to their list the tour will involve hoping to captivate their audience in a Derby gaol, echo their past successes in Cornwall caverns, steam ahead in a Swindon rail museum, add some flavour to a Cheshire salt works and hope their fans will only be lost in their music in a Liverpool labyrinth.
With this year's Radio 2 Folk Awards looming it brings back memories of them winning Best Duo in 2014.
Their latest album Watershed was released last September. Martin said: “We are really looking forward to taking our music to these magical places. We have always drawn on many musical styles and regional influences so it seemed apt to seek out some of the more unusual places that have shaped our island’s rich and diverse history.
“Some of the venues are part of our industrial heritage, like the Great Western Railway Steam Museum; then there are mysterious places created for unknown reasons like the Williamson Tunnels.”
The tour kicks off at Cardiff’s Norwegian Church on Wednesday, May 10 and finishes on the May Bank Holiday at Butser Ancient Farm in Hampshire.
