EUROPEAN folk music will launch the new Artsreach Autumn Programme with three concerts in communities, including a visit to a west Dorset village.
Hailing from Scotland, Firelight Trio play European folk music that is evocative, inventive and endlessly exciting.
They will perform in Drimpton near Beaminster on Sunday, October 8 at 7.30pm. Call 07771 554601 for tickets.
With over 25 years of experience as professional musicians in bands including Moishe’s Bagel, Gavin Marwick’s Journeyman and more, Firelight Trio’s repertoire is built upon a bedrock of European folk music, encompassing both traditional material and superb original compositions which are strongly influenced by the band members’ individual, diverse and broad musical experience.
Combining the many gifts of Phil Alexander’s accordion, Gavin Marwick’s fiddle and Ruth Morris’s Swedish nyckelharpa, Firelight Trio weave a rich tapestry of lively Swedish polskas and Scottish reels, lilting French waltzes, toe tapping klezmer, dazzling original tunes and more.
