PERFORMANCE: Field System presents an evening of May Day revels! Folk trio Craven, with music and visuals from Stone Club.
Friday May 1st, 19:30, Ashburton Arts Centre
Field System presents an evening of May Day revels, beginning with a short film presentation by Stone Club and culminating in the raucous, dark folk of Craven. Join us for some wonderful and weird live music and visuals to mark that, indeed, Sumer Is Icumen In!
Stone Club’s featurette is a fantastical exploration of the Cornish landscape, myth and magic. The film is accompanied by music by Matthew Shaw, weaving place, folklore and sound into a dreamlike ritual of image and noise.
Craven are an English / Welsh folk trio based in the South West. Their music is at once symphonic, delicate and ethereal — a beautiful Frankenstein’s Monster of British folk. Featuring Will Bremner (accordion), Elian Moisey (double bass, viol), and Rhiannon Takel (violin, mandola), the trio conjure rich, layered soundscapes through an inventive live setup – from stomp boxes to foot-keyed harmonium and pedal-driven percussion. Their fearless, imaginative approach to folk lies at the core of their sound, fuelling vivid, visceral storytelling.
