Cecil Sharp Project
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Strathclyde Suite
Please Note: This is a past event.
Originally commissioned by the Shrewsbury Folk Festival, the Cecil Sharp Project brought together eight leading British and North American folk artists for a week’s collaborative residency in March 2011, inspired by the work of seminal folksong collector Cecil Sharp, particularly his Appalachian expeditions of 1915-18. Show of Hands’ Steve Knightley, English sibling singers Jim Moray and Jackie Oates, accordionist Andy Cutting, ex-Breabach fiddler/vocalist Patsy Reid, Southern US roots specialist Caroline Herring and Canadian clawhammer banjo ace Leonard Podolak, of The Duhks, tonight perform the resulting set of newly-written and traditional material, exploring the life and legacy of this pivotal but enigmatic figure.
