THE SONG LOFT: HOPE IN HIGH WATER LEAD THE WAY AT THIS WEEK'S PERFORMER'S NIGHT

Friday night is performers night at The Song Loft in Stony Stratford, and this week's session (Feb 19) includes a live set from MK's own Hope in High Water.

Their fusion is one that incorporates folk, blues and country into its British take on acoustic Americana, and it's a sound favoured by us at Total MK.

Their 2015 single Who's Gonna Hold Your Hand was a treat, a haunting release evoking a time gone by, but with a sentiment relevant for each of us.

A new EP, When Sorrow Calls, is coming next month, and will build nicely on recent plaudits – including Radio 1 airplay, features in R2 magazine and a bucketload of glowing reviews from the media at large.

We'll have more on the new release, and forthcoming plans in the near future, but really, make time to pop to The Cock Hotel for a listen on Friday night.
