Conservatoire Folk Ensemble

conservatoire folk ensemble huntingdon hallLocation: Huntingdon Hall
Date: 
Friday 7th June
Time: 8pm
Price: £16 (£14.50 Concessions)

BOOK ONLINE

An entire festival in two hours.

Joe Broughton set up this incredible band 16 years ago. Long before the current trend of big folk band line-ups and crazy folk fusions this band were drawing on influences of folk, funk, classical, ska, reggae, jazz, hip-hop and everything in between.

Not only is the live performance of this 45 piece band (or funky orchestra should we say?!) second to none, you will most likely see the stars of tomorrow. Joe has taught Jim Moray, Sam Sweeney, Katriona Gilmore, The Old Dance School, Jack McNeill and Charlie Heys to name just a few.

The Conservatoire Folk Ensemble is forever changing, always unique and has an energy and power that is unrivalled; it has to be seen to be believed. Using players from the prestigious Birmingham Conservatoire ensures that the standard of musicianship is top drawer and being led by folk fiddler Joe Broughton (Urban Folk Quartet, Albion Band) means the music has the feel of a spontaneous folk orchestra and a show that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

If you are fully fledged folk fan, lover of any good music or just looking for a fantastic night out we guarantee that this is the gig for you. It also comes highly recommended for inspiring young musicians!

Shooglenifty in Malvern

shoogleniftyShooglenifty in concert in Malvern 17th May 2013.

Venue: Malvern Cube, Albert Rd North, Malvern, WR14 2YF

Shooglenifty are one of Scotland’s most unique musical exports, credited with being the originators of ‘Acid croft’ a fiery and infectious blend of Celtic traditional music and dance grooves that band members describe as ‘hypno-funkadelic ambient trad’

Their fiery instrumental lyricism pulsating with infectious rhythm and drive creates a sound that is at once epic and inclusive, soulful and stirring; and commands a musical presence that takes the crowd by the hand and dances them on an exhilarating romp through uncharted territory.

‘This is tradition standing on its head…doing cart wheels and pole vaulting over every barrier in sight’…The Irish Times

‘…a bit like a jam between the Tannahill Weavers, Phish and the Chemical Brothers’ …Chicago Tribune

Tickets are £15.00 and available in advance from
Malvern Theatre box office 01684 892277

Bar from 8.00pm support act on stage 8.15, Shooglenity from 9.00pm

More info 07854 918783 or info@versatilearts.co.uk
