Chris Sands
Ragtime Banjo
October
22nd at Cecil Sharp House
We're running a special concert at Cecil Sharp House this Wednesday...
"Classic"
Fingerstyle banjo was the sound of the Edwardian Britain.
Played with an intricate and demanding technique similar to that of
classical guitar this style is very seldom heard these days.
From the 1890's to the First World War this tuneful, joyful music was
massively popular in the concert stages, the music halls and the
parlours of Britain and the US.
Chris Sands is the undisputed world virtuoso of the style today, and
this is an extremely rare opportunity to hear him in a concert setting.
In this extraordinary event you have the chance to rediscover the
glories of the rags, cakewalks, marches, jigs reels, polkas and popular
songs that had your great grandma feeling frisky and which are ready to
captivate and charm the twenty first century.
Chris will be accompanied by the sensational young banjo player and
Royal College of Music graduate and previous folk club guest Elias Sibley.
This will be an extremely unusual and exciting evening of quite
wonderful music.
