Plumhall
Yorkshire
PLUMHALL (Michelle Plum and Nick B Hall) are an acclaimed UK songwriting duo known for their captivating vocal harmonies and exquisite acoustic guitar playing. Their original songs have earned them widespread acclaim.
2024 has been a remarkable year for the pair. They completed a successful 30-date tour as special guests of Fairport Convention on their Winter Tour, with Fairport joining Plumhall on stage each night to perform “One Star Awake,” the title track of Plumhall´s latest album, which also features Fairport´s Ric Sanders. They were thrilled to be invited to perform at Costa Festival in Ibiza in May. They then reunited with Fairport at the Cropredy Convention in August, where they performed as part of an extended Fairport lineup including Ralph McTell.
PLUMHALL have had the honour of performing with the legendary Al Stewart multiple times at The London Palladium, Cadogan Hall and Bridgewater Hall. They have also played alongside esteemed musicians like Larry Campbell, Phil Beer and Steve Knightley.
Michelle Plum’s musical background includes a four-year stint with Chumbawamba, 4 years as a session musician with The Chris Norman Band, and a co-founder of the folk band Waking The Witch. Nick Hall has toured with Ian Prowse & Amsterdam, Magna Carta, and The Hall Brothers.
In addition to their duo performances, Plumhall occasionally perform as a trio with their producer David P Crickmore (of Fiat Lux) on bass, vocals, and electronica, giving their live shows the full dynamic range of a rock band.
