Monday March 29th
bellevue rendezvous

Bellevue Rendezvous features an unusual combination of instruments – the line up is Gavin Marwick (fiddle), Ruth Morris, (nyckelharpa) and Cameron Robson (cittern/ jaw harp). The nyckelharpa, rarely seen in the UK , is a beautifully toned instrument in the viola register with many resonant strings which give it a rich full sound. It has a darker, grainier tone than the fiddle which allows for greater depth in the interplay between the instruments. The cittern supplies much more than rhythm, with creative use of chords and harmony. Their shows keep concert hall audiences enthralled and dance floors full.
SALAMANDER is the excellent second album from this acoustic instrumental trio. Sensitive and dynamic arrangements showcase original material and tunes from across Europe . An dros, freilachs, reels and other dance tunes interweave effortlessly with airs and performance pieces.

In the Community Hall ~ 8pm
Tickets available at the door ~ £7/£5
