an evening of FOLK//ELECTRONIC//CELTIC//MILENNIALPOP
RE:VULVA
Stop blushing and listen!
This quartet comes fully loaded with talent and they are mad as hell that all they see on the UK festival scene are men, men, men. Well here is the antidote! They are taking aim at hyper-masculine culture that encourages too many acts to swagger around on stage like an 18th Century sailor at home from sea.
These dazzling talented women present virtuosity, strength, and power in a language that is unashamedly and decidedly female. Their vision of the future is of a platform fit for the young women of tomorrow - so excuse us while we take just one minute of your time to peg our masculine counterparts to the wall!
RE:VULVA features Janice Burns on mandolin, Holly Clarke on vocals and guitar, Cathy Geldard on fiddle and Amy Thatcher on accordion, synth and drum pad. They reclaim the best classic folk tunes and refashion these and their own compositions with a squirt of millennial pop nostalgia.
Each performance promises to be as sparkling as a brand new vagazzle....
RE:VULVA - Stop Blushing and listen!
HEEN
Where traditional music meets contemporary production, Heen is a musical project paying homage to the lowland Scottish region of Dumfries & Galloway. Taking a collection of original tune compositions inspired by the people and places of D&G, Heen merges these melodies with granular textures and shuddering bass to produce a sound that interrogates the essence of traditional music.
