New Rope String Band in Concert
Saturday 27th September
Thringstone Community Centre, 8:00pm
LE67 8NR
Telephone: 01530 222337
"That was the best hour of my life!" so said Daniel, a discerning Lincolnshire lad.
The New Rope String Band is made up of four hugely experienced, highly talented musicians playing beautiful, lively acoustic music from various traditions around the world. Pete Challoner and Tim Dalling (from The Old Rope String Band) have joined forces with two amazing musicians, Jock Tyldesley and Vera van Heeringen, and together they sing, dance and play their socks off, on fiddle, guitar, piano, accordion, mandolin and anything else that comes to hand. But people just laugh at them.
Audiences say, "What the heck was that?" And then struggle to describe what happens:
"It's folk music", "It's cabaret", "They plough the lonely furrow of cutting edge music hall". Then they are forced to drag their friends along to the next gig to witness the strange spectacle for themselves!
But everyone actually enjoys it. A lot! Come along and see for yourself. The show is a pleasure for all the senses (except, perhaps, the smell). Exuberant spectacles, boundless energy and beautiful music executed with kindness. What could possibly go wrong?
