couple and circle dances such as bourées, mazurka, scottish, valse,
etc. And to top it all they also sing in harmony for dancing. As they
say “hear our strings (vocal and steel), bellows, keys and bow.”

March The Shackleton Trio
A
highly original and energetic musical force just as likely to move
you to tears as to move you to your feet. Frequently referred to as
one of the hardest working bands on the scene, The Shackleton Trio is
gaining significant UK and International exposure, becoming an in
demand name on the folk circuit. 2018 saw plays on Mark Radcliffe's
Radio 2 Folk Show, an appearance on Cambridge Folk Festival's main
stage alongside a host of UK and European festivals and international
tours. The Shackleton Trio are Georgia Shackleton (fiddle, vocals),

Friday 13th March Clica Drona (from France)
This is traditional
dance music from Gascony of the very best from three talented
musicians playing an array of instruments from the nickelharpa to the
boha bagpipes. They make a wonderful drony sound but anchored in the
tradition. Their music - half traditional and half compositions, mix
instrumental and polyphonic songs but all great dance music for
rondeaux, polkas, scottishes, waltzes and congos.
Dani Detammaecker on
tambourin à cordes, percussions and harmonica, Aina Tulier on violin
and nyckelharpa and Adrien Villeneuve on Gascon boha bagpipes.
Friday 3rd April The Idumea Quartet
The Idumea Quartet is an international string quartet specializing in traditional
Appalachian folk music played with a chamber music aesthetic
influenced by minimalism. Mix fabulous string playing with beautiful
harmonized singing and the result is a sound which is as high and
lonesome as it is symphonic. Blending tradition, experimentation, and
sheer nonsense in roughly equal measure, the Idumea Quartet
deconstruct and reconstruct Appalachian folk music, drawing strong
influences from Minimalism and experimental music. The Idumea
Quartet is: Jane Rothfield and Ewan Macdonald on fiddle, Becka Wolfe
on viola, Nathan Bontrager on cello.

make playful, powerful and richly connecting music that is wholly
contemporary while deeply anchored in folk traditions. The

Over the last five years, audiences across the UK, Europe and
Australia have been captivated by the duos very special live
performances. Performing live, the sisters are inimitable;
full-hearted performers and spontaneous, on-stage improvisers, with
adventurous use of fiddles, voices, banjo, bansitar, tambourin à
cordes, spoken word, dancing feet and percussion. The Rheingans

The
Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920) (U)
Acclaimed
instrumentalists Minima perform a spine-tingling live soundtrack to
the strange and thrilling 1920 German silent psychological horror
classic for its 100th anniversary. A mysterious carnival
hypnotist unleashes a sinister sleep-walker to do his wicked bidding.
Made in the aftermath of the First World War, The Cabinet of Dr.
Caligari is the quintessential German Expressionist film masterpiece.
Robert Wiene’s distorted sets, sinister shadows and unnerving
characters creating a paranoid, unreal world at a time of despair
throughout Europe. Drums, bass, guitar, cello, double bass,
synthesiser and dulcimer stalk the film, complementing the film’s
unsettling experience of mistrust and madness.
