FOLK duo Hannah Sanders and Ben Savage have been described as "classically timeless but refreshingly unique".

And Settle music lovers will be able to give their verdict when the duo performs at the town's Victoria Hall on Sunday.

They are said to evoke memories of Shirley Collins and Davy Graham from the 60s, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris from the 70s and Gillian Welch and David Rawlings from the 90s.

Both musicians hail from folk-singing families in the flatlands of East Anglia.

Hannah spent much of her formative years touring Europe with her family band in a converted school bus, but a relocation to the US saw her soak up the influences from the American North East and take up the dulcimer.

Meanwhile Ben was writing and touring with celebrated UK folk band The Willows whose albums Beneath Our Humble Soil and Amidst Fiery Skies were championed by the likes of the BBC’s Bob Harris and Mike Harding.

They met after within weeks of Hannah moving back the UK and caught the attention of award-winning Canadian producer David Travers-Smith. They are now making an album due for release in late 2016.
