Come listen to fiddlers from near and far, with styles from around the globe.
I would like you to hear some of the wide range of top quality music that
Kentish fiddlers (or regular visitors in Ben Paley's case) can play for us.
Some of these players, such as Saskia and Laura, are now not heard often
in the county, so this is a rare treat. Laura has been on fiddle tour in
Australia for most of the last few years, but is still well known in the
county for her Celtic fiddle.
Saskia's playing, on fiddle and viola, ranges across the continent from
Bulgarian through Hungarian gypsy music to English and Irish dance music,
and though many will remember her Cajun playing in the early Cajunologie,
her playing has now gone far beyond that.
Ben says : "Swedish music is often a convenient Unique Selling Point for me, but I'd be
equally happy to do some Old-Time."
His Appalachian is a joy as well, his Klezmer, Bluegrass not to be missed, but I agree
with experienced musicians whom I have heard asking for more of the
Swedish ...
Chris Wood is a member of the highly respected English Acoustic Collective.
I know his playing mainly from some of the highly interesting discs he
has produced, so this will be a treat for me as well.
Ian Cutler will be his usual virtuoso self - he played in the cult film
" The wicker man" .
Yves Langlois is currently voted no. 2 Cajun Fiddler in Europe - but that ignores
the fact that he is also a Cajun singer-songwriter - I have heard it said by
a friend of mine from New-Orleans, perhaps the best Cajun songster in the world.
And it was a joy to see how much Ramona Egle's Celtic and World fiddle was
deeply appreciated at a recent local gig in the Red Lion, Wingham.
We have a lot of music to fit in, so kick-off is 7:15 pm prompt,
on Sunday 5th June 2005.
