Biography
www.belshazzarsfeast.co.uk
Blending folk with classical music and comedy plus the odd music hall song thrown in.
If you like Mozart, Beethoven, Elvis Presley and The Spinners avoid them - you have been warned!
In 1995 Paul Hutchinson (accordion) and Paul Sartin (oboe, violin and vocals) shared a musical passion borne out of the desire to earn sufficient money to support their extravagant lifestyles. Their amazing musicianship coupled with wry humour stunned audiences around Europe and the States. After a brief sabbatical, they’re back!
“Tantalizing tunes performed with wit and finesse” – Verity Sharp, BBC Radio 3
“My personal find of the festival - Paul Hutchinson and Paul Sartin play like no-one else you’ve ever heard. Their music is breathtaking and wickedly inventive and the between-tunes interchange as intelligent and hilarious as the music. But don’t let me give you the impression they’re a lightweight comedy act: they finish the set with a haunting piece of oboe and accordion magic which has the audience spellbound.” – Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2
Paul Sartin is a member of BBC Radio 2 Award-winning big band Bellowheadand English music trio Faustus. He combines his busy performing career with teaching and outreach work, at St Edward’s School in Oxford and for community organisations, most notably Live Music Now and SuperAct. He dabbles in academia, recently assisting on a number of publications of old tune manuscripts, and regularly deputises with the Choir of Winchester Cathedral, where he gets to wear a dress to work.
