Maddy Prior & The Carnival Band
Carols from Stones Barn
Monday 21 December 7.30 - 9.00 pm
A sequence of songs for the Winter Solstice and the Christmas Season
filmed on location in Cumbria. Maddy Prior, iconic voice of English folk music and lead singer of Steeleye Span, is joined by The Carnival Band - Giles Lewin fiddle and recorders, Andy Watts bagpipes, and clarinet, Jub Davis double bass, and Steno Vitale cittern and guitar. A unique mix of medieval lyrics, English and European folk carols, contemporary comedy and reflections on the season of goodwill, delivered in rich vocal harmony to the accompaniment of ancient and modern sounds. This Yuletide cocktail is guaranteed to be an evening of consummate musicianship laced with good humour, and will charm even the most Scrooge-like heart.
After the performance has streamed (estimated duration 1 hour) we invite you to ‘come backstage’ and meet Maddy and members of the band on Zoom, for lively chat, and the answers to your questions about a partnership which has been delighting audiences worldwide for over 30 years.
Access to the event will begin at 7.25pm on Monday 21st December and will end at midnight on Wednesday 6th January 2021
