GO London GO

Folk meets Classical in this exciting collaborative evening with the young Derbyshire folk singer and fiddler Bella Hardy. Though only 25, Bella has already been nominated for three BBC Radio 2 folk awards.  This eclectic evening will showcase the works written for Bella as part of Manchester Camerata’s Composers’ Project, in addition to Italian composer Luciano Berio’s extraordinary collection of folk songs, a straight folk set performed by Bella, and a laidback late night folk session to finish the evening. 
Band on the Wall’s Picturehouse Café Bar will be open from 5.30pm serving food.
This seated concert will begin at 7.30pm

Will Lang, best known for his percussion in folk-fusion group Park Bench Social Club and Mabon has recruited some of the finest musicians from the Folk and Hip-Hop worlds, both from the UK and Australia, to explore and unravel histories, identities and culture. Combining these diverse talents, the band are pushing British folk to a new and incredible level.

A spectacular evening that sees two giants of the folk scene – Pentangle's John Renbourn and Incredible String Band's Robin Wiliamson – performing together.
Luminary acoustic guitarist and songwriter John Renbourn is best known for his collaborations with Bert Jansch and his time with the legendary folk/jazz fusion band Pentangle.
Scottish multi-instrumentalist, musician, singer, songwriter and master Celtic storyteller Robin Williamson made his name as a member of the Incredible String Band between 1966 and 1974.
During that time the band were one of the most popular and influential groups of the era. John and Robin will be performing both their own solo material at the concert as well as playing as a duo.
Their live album Wheel Of Fortune, released in 1995, was nominated for a Grammy (as was the Incredible String Band’s 1968 album Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter). An unmissable and intimate night in the company of two legends of the British folk scene.
This seated concert will begin at 7.30pm.

Jesca Hoop was born in Southern California to strict Mormon parents. She grew up singing traditional folk tunes in four-part harmony, but soon broke away from this background, becoming a homesteader and working with children. As a nanny for Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan’s three children, Hoop gained both musical experience and notoriety; Waits said of Jesca, 'Her music is like going swimming in a lake at night'. Following exposure through radio station KCRW, Jesca toured with Polyphonic Spree, Mark Knopfler, Andrew Bird and Elbow – with Guy Garvey also dueting with Hoop on her latest acclaimed album Hunting My Dress.

‘One of alternative folk-pop’s most arresting recent arrivals, singing like an outcast angel and writing like a restless explorer’ – The Sunday Times

‘There’s a thin line between genuine eccentricity and precious affectation of weirdness, but Jesca Hoop walks it well’ – The Guardian

‘Exudes oodles of charisma and originality, thanks mostly to Hoop’s delightfully freaky take on traditional folk convention‘ – BBC Music

This concert will begin at 8pm.
