Return to top of page Sunday 23 AugustThe Harp Of Bones – Joglaresa A programme of medieval and traditional English song – as ancient as the hills of faeries – demonstrating concerns of life, love and death that remain disturbingly contemporary. The repertoire draws on the 14th to 16th centuries, in addition to timeless ancient classics such as Tam Lin and The Harp of Bones. Belinda Sykes – voice, bagpipes, director, Jeremy Avis – voice, Stuart Hall – fiddle, guitar, Jean Kelly – harp, Tim Garside – dulcimer, percussion “Joglaresa are at the forefront of singers and instrumentalists whose study of improvisation and ethnomusicology informs and shapes their imaginative re-creation of medieval music-making”.
