A Hawk and a Hacksaw Double Gig

• 27th Jul 2007

Following the overwhelming success of their UK Spring tour with the Hungarian virtuoso group, The Hun Hangár Ensemble, A Hawk And A Hacksaw return to the UK in September for a two night residency at everyone’s favourite venue, The Luminaire in London.

These very special shows will take place on the 4th and 5th of September, and will be recorded for future release. AHAAH’s Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost will be joined by the undoubted star of the tour, Cimbalom maestro Unger Balázs, for two nights of frenzied celebration of the music of Eastern Europe, both original and traditional songs. AHAAH will be joined by very special support acts, to be announced soon.

‘God Bless The Ottoman Empire’, taken from AHAAH’s third album, The Way The Wind Blows, will be released as a digital download only single in mid-September, and the group will be recording sessions for Rob Da Bank’s BBC Radio 1 show and Stuart Maconie’s FreakZone on BBC 6 Music.

In addition to this, AHAAH have been invited to play All Tomorrow’s Parties’ Nightmare Before Christmas event, curated by Portishead, which runs from 7-9 December this year.
