Fiddlers Various:
KentFolk Fiddle Festivals.

The Fiddlers Various events have been running since 2000.
They are organised by live-music enthusiast Dr. Beau Webber, who has created the KentFolk.com website in support of Kentish music, and is also chairman of the Littlebourne Barn committee. Fiddlers Various and related gigs consist of especially crafted fiddle-led events which, whenever possible, are staged in or around the wonderful Littlebourne Thatched Barn, near Canterbury, with lighting and quality sound to do them justice, and with space for all those who wish to come. In colder months and for smaller gigs, other venues may be used.

2011-03-29 - KentFolk Fiddlers Various - `Ish - Saskia Tomkins & Brandon Scott Beharah : £5.00

'Ish - an evening of music from Saskia Tomkins - violin, viola, nyckelharpa (Kentish fiddle lass, particularly known for her gypsy-jazz / Eastern European fiddle, also recent Fleadh winner, but this seems to have a contemporary slant) and Brandon Scott Beharah - acoustic guitar, banjo, saxophone.
Saskia comments : "Yes Beau, all of the above influence the new thing - sometimes, it's hard to box music, hence the 'Ish!"
Saskia now lives in Canada, so these are now rare opportunities. In case you are wondering, Steafan is looking after the kids ...
