“Hannah Martin has an extraordinary voice and vocal range, capable of moving fluidly from soaring melody to rich, deep resonance...Hannah Martin's very English folk sensibilities combined with Phil Henry's Americana and Indian influences results in a heady brew. Phil's strong rhythmic instrumentation and blues tinged slide work underpins their work...A solo performance on harmonica titled 'Underground Railroad' was...an extraordinary demonstration of his mastery of rhythm and melody to tell a story with just an instrument that fits in the pocket and his own breath... With such a range of instruments between them, they are able to vary pace and tone throughout the set making for a dynamic and richly powerful show that few other duos can match. Hannah Martin is an intriguing song writer, taking evocative themes and influences from all around her as she travels...Their cover of a 19th Century protest song 'The Nailmakers' Strike', [is] a staple of any Henry and Martin performance... sung with a power and depth of feeling that contrasts with some of the more introspective songs. The encore was a rousing version of Union Station's 'The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn' that built in intensity and pace towards a dramatic climax and joyous ending that left the audience baying for more.” - Fatea
