Event Information
A first public sharing as a work-in-progress performance, music-video screening & Q&A. Songs from the Tin Tabernacle: A Roots Romance showcases the first songs of a new suite of future-folk music inspired by a powerful 19th century Welsh family musical bloodline that flows from the ruins of Careg Iago on the stony farmlands of Ynys Môn, to the Welsh Salem Chapel of the unique community of migrant Welsh miners of Wharncliffe Woodside colliery near Barnsley.
Featuring musicians-songwriters Cerys Hafana (harp/vocals), Bryony Griffith (fiddle/vocals), Cath Carr (steelpans), Kadialy Kouyate (kora) & Tony Francis Bowring (bass), with filmmaker Joao Paulo Simoes (video).
