Heidi Talbot celebrated 20 years as a professional singer in 2020 and released a compilation album featuring tracks for her last five solo albums. Her latest album Sing it for a Lifetime was recorded during lockdown with some stellar musicians across several time zones. She has shared the stage and recorded with Mark Knopfler, Graham Coxon (Blur), Idlewild, King Creosote, Tim O’ Brien and Jerry Douglas, to name a few. Heidi has been nominated for folk singer of the year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and the Irish Music Awards.

Joining Heidi on this tour will be long-time collaborator, and Ivor Novello award nominated singer-songwriter, Boo Hewerdine. Boo has performed with and written songs for major artists, such as Chris Difford (Squeeze), kd Lang, Kris Drever, Duke Special and Eddi Reader. He is in constant demand as a musician, songwriter, producer, teacher and live concert performer. Boo and Heidi have recorded and toured together extensively going back to Heidi’s first solo tour of the UK in 2005.
