7.30pm National Youth Folk Ensemble
8.15pm Jig Doll Ensemble

This evening is presented by the English Folk Dance and Song Society

Jig Doll Ensemble
Imagine a one-woman Stomp backed by a pan-European group of virtuosic musicians. The live show weaves together percussive dance, storytelling, harmony singing and wonderfully hypnotic melodies to create a spellbinding and immersive experience which has appeal way beyond the folk scene.

The Jig Doll ensemble is the latest project of the fascinating Hannah James. Already an award-winning artist, Hannah is building a reputation as one of the most innovative creators on the British folk scene and a hugely powerful live performer.

National Youth Folk Ensemble
The National Youth Folk Ensemble brings together talented young folk musicians from across England. They create their own contemporary takes on traditional tunes from Britain and beyond, with a sound that is distinctive, joyful, and diverse. The Ensemble aims to nurture their talents, aspirations, and creativity, enabling them to develop into folk performers, educators and leaders of the future. These exceptional 14-19 year olds meet four times a year for intensive weeks of music-making, led by Artistic Director Hannah James with top musicians and educators.

**** “It’s hard to find a more expansive but powerfully focused talent in contemporary folk.” – Songlines Magazine
