Description

A fabulous evening of Folk with Sheelanagig who play intricate, groove heavy arrangements of original and traditional tunes drawing influence from the folk music of Europe and beyond. sure to get you up off your feet and dancing.
Sheelanagig for 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.
