About the band:
Helen Gentile & Lewis Wood (Threepenny Bit and Granny’s Attic respectively) combines the talent of two musicians who are firmly embedded into the folk music community in England. Their material comprises traditional, contemporary and original folk dance music, with loose, ever-evolving arrangements creating space for improvisation and showcasing the interplay between the instruments. Expect many new additions to their set, including some fast and furious Quebecois reels!
