To mark the release of her much anticipated debut album, ‘Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose’, Beth Jeans Houghton will be taking her band, The Hooves Of Destiny, on a canter around the United Kingdom. For anyone picturing a girl and a guitar, think again – this is a full band performance with Beth plus Dav Shiel (drums, vocals samples) Rory Gibson (bass, vocals), Ed Blazey (guitar, trumpet, vocals) and Findlay Macaskill (violin, vocals). Collectively, they’re The Hooves Of Destiny – a crack unit recruited from Beth’s native North East. If you’ve never seen Houghton before, expect the unexpected. Houghton’s performances are always different, always unpredictable and always wildly entertaining, her between-song chat giving an eye into the slanted world explored further in her inspired lyrics. ‘Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose’ was created with producer Ben Hiller (Blur/ Elbow/ Depeche Mode).
