Live December 11th Peter Knight and John Spiers + support The Exeter Lucia Singers Kingskerswell Parish Church Doors 7pm 01803 875527
.
The pairing of violin and melodeon is not a new one, but in the hands of Knight and Spiers, Improvisation and invention meet the listener at every turn. Together they have created a musical document that resonates with history, but also something that should inspire future generations of musicians to engage with Britain’s folk dancing heritage, and the beautiful, mysterious tunes that can be found within that heritage.
These uniquely gifted musicians make a sublime pairing, and create a live performance to be remembered for a long time.
“Knight’s playing is a revelation. A world away from folky fiddling, it’s fully informed by the classical style, all long sweeping bow strokes and eloquent legato. Yet he never loses the essential folk heart of the music, tracing a graceful line of his own making”
Review of Cambridge Folk Festival’s ‘City Roots’
"John’s elegant, rhythmic and virtuoso playing and easy-going folk club banter is a quiet triumph!”
Robin Denselow, The Guardian
The Exeter Lucia singers will treat the audience to a candle-lit Scandinavian St Lucia procession. This magical winter tradition sees white robed singers perform seasonal Swedish songs, bringing light, hope and harmony to the midwinter gloom.
and don't forget if you want to get in the Christmas mood Glorious Chorus + support Yazzy are live tonight (december 8th) at Kingskerswell Church 07815 620402
