 | If you think you know about English folk music, think again! The Imagined Village project, brainchild of producer and musician Simon Emmerson, has recast age-old traditions in the shape of the twenty-first century. A daring mix of ancient and modern, the Project fuses fiddles and squeezebox with dub beats and sitars and features an extraordinary array of talent including Billy Bragg, Martin Carthy, Eliza Carthy, Chris Wood and Simon Emmerson. |
English folk music has long left behind its fusty, finger-in-the-ear image, and stars such as Eliza Carthy are idols of the young.
ALSO - Don't miss The Imagined Village Project Talk with Billy Bragg at 6.30pm in the Playhouse Studio. Tickets for this are free but must be booked in advance. (Limited Capacity).
