A gig held at St George's Bristol on Saturday 3rd May. The event starts at 14:00.
Join us for an afternoon of masterful musicianship, where a new folk tour-de-force meets the wild men of song.
------------------
Filkin's Ensemble
------------------
A 14-piece supergoup, Filkin’s Ensemble have created a stunningly beautiful & distinctive new sound. For those unfamiliar with their work, think Penguin Café Orchestra, meets Bellowhead.
The ensemble’s gorgeous contemporary arrangements of traditional songs stop you dead in your tracks. A string quartet, clarinet, bass clarinet, saxophone, guitars, & orchestral percussion, wrap playfully around soaring vocals.
Drawing inspiration from classical & jazz, Filkin’s Ensemble is the bold vision of Seth Bye & Chris Roberts who have recently earned widespread acclaim for an 870 mile foot-powered-tour, with national airtime on BBC Radio 2, 3, 4, 6 Music & BBC World Service.
--------------------
Jacob & Drinkwater
--------------------
UK alt-folk duo Jacob & Drinkwater have been called “stand out new folk” by BBC6 Music & “inventive & thrilling” by R2 Magazine.
Jacob’s sweeping vocals deliver spine-tingling moments; the fluidity & precision of his finger-picking underpinned by Drinkwater’s nimbly rhythmic double bass; at times sweetly soaring, at others haunting, percussive & driving.
Featured numerous times on BBC Radio 2, BBC6 Music and lauded by their musical peers as one of the most accomplished acts touring the UK.
