A folk band has become the latest recipient of the coveted Argus Angel award.
Albuquerque duo A Hawk And A Hacksaw were awarded the trophy, given to outstanding performers at this year's Brighton Festival and Festival Fringe events, after their performance at The Dome on Saturday night.
Described as a band who "augment a mix of Eastern European folk, gipsy song and klezmer with Mexican fanfare and cinematic flourishes", they lived up to the award's reputation during a great performance with a Macedonian wedding band.
Argus entertainments reporter Bella Todd said: "You can get the whole of the Dome dancing if you encore for an hour and Saturday night audiences can never have too much trumpet. Those are the two lessons gleaned from this fantastic double bill."
