The Hide-Away UK Tour: songs from a hide

Look out this summer for a unique shedlike tour of UK bird hides by singer (and freelance organic gardener and environmental artist) Kate Doubleday in aid of the RSPB. The Hide-Away UK Tour also features Trevor Lines (bass/ukelele) and Dan Wilkins (guitar/kora) and will be playing to titchy audiences of between 15 and 50 inside the hides, blending their acoustic music with the sounds of nature surrounding them.

As part of the tour they will also be doing a session at this year's Shed of the Year, Songs from the Shed. Here are the tour dates
