About The Event
The Beatrix Players
After a 4 year hiatus, the Award-winning Beatrix Players are back with a brand new line up and album. Original Beatrix front woman and award-winning vocalist Amy Birks, is joined by a raft of talent, including John Hackett on flute, original Beatrix Player; Tom Manning, and Oliver Day on guitars, Andrew Booker on drums and percussion, Kyle Welch on bass, Jane Fenton on cello and Matt Lumb on keys. Original Beatrix Players writer Helena Dove, also rejoins the writing line-up.
Florid, adventurous music that operates at the interface between folk, prog and baroque chamber pop, Beatrix Players are the 2017 winners of the Limelight Award for best new artist at the Progressive Music Awards.
