About this Event
The Burning Glass
"Word's are light like feathers, but put together right feathers make wings'
True stories, outrageous fibs, songs of love, grief, loss, nature conservation and onanism that you can't help but dance to. Popping up at 2am in festival tents, sold out shows in underground venues and captivating audiences in intimate house concerts over the last ten years the Burning Glass have gained a cult following for their unique sound, incredible live energy and thoughtful songwriting. Often appearing as a trio, the Magic Garden line up will feature the full 7 piece festival band in a rare London gig.
Jez Hellard plays a rich mongrel mix of folk music, from jigs, reels and rebel ballads to tango, rhumba and reggae. Virtuoso musicianship, conscious poetry; from dance tunes to rebel ballads, sweet love songs to powerful politics and passionate improvisation.
Fiddle player, vocalist, and composer whose music sits at the intersection of Irish traditional music, roots, folk, Americana, and contemporary experimental sound. Known for her virtuosic playing and distinctive voice, Jayne Pomplas is described as “sweetly fierce” , she delivers performances that are both intimate and electrifying, with a fearless creative instinct.
DJ Chewy She lays down the tunes that make you feel irresistibly sexy or wanna let loose to the fresh new music that you can not-not move your hips on
