The Hut People

The Hut People are an accordion and percussion duo with bags of talent and charisma.

The accordionist is Sam Pirt who plays with 422 and won the Radio 2 Folk awards a few years back. Sam is a very experienced musician who is well established in the folk world. He is found throughout the year playing at numerous festivals and workshops.

Percussionist Gary Hammond has for the past 12 years recorded and toured with The Beautiful South. He has also worked with Nina Simone and many other groups and set ups within the world music and jazz/pop world. He is in big demand for session work and his school workshops.

Together they play a wide range of accordion-based tunes which are given an unusual twist with the addition of multi-percussive styles.

Both musicians have a shared love of Scandinavian, English and European folk tunes which infuses into their music and is inevitably shared by their audiences.
