Sunday 24th April at 2.30pm The Westgate Chapel, 92a High Street, Lewes, East Sussex BN7 1XH. Folk In The Chapel Concert will include - RATTLE ON THE STOVEPIPE Click here to see a photo of them. The entire concert will be performed by this excellent trio. - DAVE ARTHUR (banjo, guitar, melodeon, vocals) PETE COOPER (fiddle, viola, vocals) DAN STEWART (guitar, banjo) RATTLE ON THE STOVEPIPE explore the interwoven worlds of traditional British and Appalachian songs, ballads, and music. Morris dances flow into their Old Time Appalachian counterparts, Minstrel songs brought to Britain in the 19th century are resurrected via the singing of Cotswold rural labourers, while English jigs and Scottish pipe tunes evolve into fiddle and banjo reels, while 18th century British ballads, as heard from source singers in the mountains and 'hollers' of Kentucky, Georgia and N.Carolina, reappear in more democratic guise. The musical backgrounds of the three band members make them uniquely qualified to explore this fascinating cross-cultural area.
