Musicport presents The Hut People ...with support from Tom Townsend.

The duo who have lived up to all their early promise ( which was so evident at their first Musicport appearance in 2007) return to the cafe where we first saw them as they begin a year that will see them reach yet greater heights.

Taking the audience on a musical journey around the World, instrumental duo Sam Pirt and Gary Hammond have proved to be one of the most unique, entertaining and best-loved acts on the UK folk scene today.

Mixing global rhythms with folk tunes from Quebec to Spain, Scandinavia to Sussex and everywhere in between, this is a quirky celebration of our rich musical heritage. Expect feel-good dancing tunes, audience participation, step dancing and humour aplenty.

Support act Tom similarly played the first  Musicport Festival when he was about 16 and has developed into Scarborough's finest singer/songwriter and  all round good-guy in our opinion.

“This is a brilliantly unique sound from England
