Sunday 27th July WATERPERRY GARDENS, Moonrakers annual concert in the fabulous open-air Amphitheatre (or a marquee if raining).
Celtic harp cello, fretted instruments, female/male vocals – "sublime" (BBC).
Please bring a picnic because we'll have an extended interval (drinks available at the bar).
Four-piece Moonrakers (www.moonrakers.net) perform sparkling and unique arrangements of traditional British folk songs and tunes as well as their own compositions. Their multi-instrumental show comprises harp, cello, fretted instruments, whistles, and female/male vocals. Their live shows are informative, full of musical variety and suitable for all ages ("startlingly talented", Oxford Times, "exquisite sound", BBC).
Included in the show are ancient mystic ballads, beautiful lyrical tunes, and joyous chorus songs. The band's prolific recorded output has received glowing reviews from the music press ("The real deal", The Living Tradition; "Wonderful Arrangements", RnR Magazine; "Uplifting, sensitively crafted songs and tunes" FATEA magazine). Their music has been used for the BBC television series 'Beyond Paradise', Radio 4 and numerous local radio and podcast shows.
