‘High octane stuff…Would liven any party and keep the floor full’ – fRoots
Sheelanagigfor over a decade have brought their array of foot-stomping folk tunes to audiences across the globe. A quintet with a well-stocked armoury of stringed instruments – guitar, fiddle, double bass – added with the rhythmic energy of flute and drums and a bagful of joint-jumping tunes, these boys from the South-West England create a real dynamic which is inherent in both their furious dance medleys as well as their interestingly arranged original pieces.
Putting the groove into a selection of traditional and original European Folk music dating from the medieval times to present day, it’s difficult – nay, impossible – for your limbs to remain stationary when you’re within earshot of them in full flight. The fact that they often play with a knowing wink shouldn’t obscure their impeccable technique, and outstanding musicianship that raises the roof in every place they play.
In the last year they have toured France, Switzerland and Australia as well as busy summer festival season and an extensive UK tour. Catch them out on the road again in 2019.
‘A completely top night out.’ – Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2
‘The musicianship is tight and intense’ – Songlines
FFTP (aka: Maxine Venton & Chezney Newman)
Folk duo with an edge, an attitude of people that really have traveled the world and learned their tunes from experience rather than out of a book.
Deftly weaving original written tunes with world folk music they take you away on a sensory experience followed by songs of love and hate murder and mystery. These two are folk musicians who write their tunes from life experience and that shows in their playing.
