Jim Ghedi - Live Full Band - Solstice Show
Join us for the Summer Solstice!
We’re delighted to announce that Jim Ghedi will be performing for us at the Taproom on the Solstice eve.
Jim Ghedi hails from Sheffield, South Yorkshire and although clearly well versed in the history of folk music, he stands out as a torch bearer for a new generation of respectful yet experimental performers. Jim's sets go for delicate soaring vocals into cacophony of sound before dropping into massive instrumentals and thundering drums.
This is a Full Band Show!
Support will be Isaac.I.Ockenden Isaac, a scottish experimental ballad singer of sorts building haunting textured walls of crackling tapes, Pedal Harmonium, frailing banjo and howling vocals to create always different enigmatic journeys through lore, myth, imperialism, alcoholism and onward.
Join us from 2pm for a Free Folk Session
On top of all this we will be hosting a FREE to attend Folk session in the yard from 2pm.
And the WAD will be dancing from 6pm. Tickets holders will then be inside for the live show from 7pm.
The WAD are a Falmouth-based Morris dancing side named after Joan the WAD, Queen of the Cornish Piskies.
Cornish folklore suggests that Joan the WAD would light people to safety, or sometimes peril, across the Cornish moors. The word ‘wad’ is often recorded as an old Cornish colloquial term for ‘torch’ or bundle of straw. Joan the WAD is now seen as a good luck charm to many.
Taking inspiration from Cornish folklore and Joan's feisty and fiery nature, our all-female Morris side brings Joan the WAD energy and a modern, progressive take to a mixture of traditional border and cotswold dances.
