Wednesday 26th July at Llangollen Town Hall
Carthy Swarbrick have passed into folk legend and the next generation
is now upon us. Eliza Carthy has more than followed in her parents'
footsteps and now comes Simon Swarbrick with the Band of Jays, which
features amongst others Lucy Watkins and, recently returned from
touring with Norah Jones no less, Robbie McIntosh, who has played,
recorded and toured extensively with Paul McCartney.
Band of Jays demonstrate a unique approach to folk music, drawing for
their material on traditional British folk songs that have "emigrated"
to the New World, where they have found fascinating adaptation and
development, while Simon's fretwork takes between-lyric instrumentals
to all corners of the world and back again. The Fringe is delighted to
be presenting this band in its debut days. A long life and reputation
is forecast.
