Join Helen Gentile & Lewis Wood for the launch of their debut studio album, Violet Sky, on Thursday 5th December at The Hyde Tavern, Winchester.This will be the debut performance of music from the new album, recorded and mixed by Alex Garden (Sheelanagig, Tarren, The Drystones) earlier this year. Violet Sky features the European dance tunes the duo have become known for, as well as original compositions, and tunes by friends of the duo. This is your first chance to get your hands on a copy of the album, before its official release the next day!
The duo will be playing in the intimate cellar music venue at The Hyde Tavern in Winchester - a renowned folk and roots venue hosting exceptional musicians from around the world. Due to the size of the venue, tickets are limited so advance booking is strongly recommended.
The Hyde Tavern has a bar with an excellent selection of real ales, cider and soft drinks.
About the duo:
Helen Gentile & Lewis Wood perform original and dynamic arrangements of European folk dance tunes on clarinet and fiddle. The duo combines the talent of two musicians who are firmly embedded into the folk music community in England, with many festival credits between them. Their live show draws on influences from balfolk; listeners are transported into the world of the Scottish, Waltz and Mazurka. Loose, ever-evolving arrangements create space for improvisation and showcase the interplay between clarinet and violin.
“The clarinet and fiddle interweave seamlessly and the playing is faultless” – Songlines
“The discipline and musicality required of such a variety of dance tunes cannot fail to impress.” – FATEA
