“Folk Made In The UK”

For this series of Festival concerts, Red Orange audience and arts development have chosen three different approaches to folk music from the UK: interpretations of traditional English tunes and songs; happy, non-stop, danceable Gaelic folk/roots/world music; and new folk adventures based on international explorations.

All three are rare London appearances. Opening the evening are acclaimed north Devon fiddle/viola duo Nick Wyke and Becki Driscoll. They are followed by the cheerful, high-energy, Newcastle-based Monster Ceilidh Band…

If you happen to be in London next Tuesday, 21st April, I recommend the UK premiere of BAKIRINOSU, a female acapella duo from Osaka, Japan.

Fed by diverse influences, the twin voices of Bakirinosu have their roots in popular Japanese music and travel, a cappella, along melodic lines that evoke both European folklore and the sound of unknown threnody, from further away. Part of Osaka’s art scene, Ras and Gaki collaborated on rock projects before testing out a more daring formula based on song. Bakirinosu is a young group, whose candour is captivating and whose voices are beautifully simple, spontaneous…
