1st YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ST ANDREW’S CHURCH CANDLE-LIT CONCERTS!
‘Broken folk’ duo LUNATRAKTORS (GB) fuse body percussion, harmonic singing, tap-dance and live looping to create dark, playful re-workings of the archive. Weaving traditional ballads with influences from contemporary music and theatre, Lunatraktors strip folk back to its raw elements to discover complex, polyrhythmic landscapes. We make installations and performances in galleries and elsewhere, knot together things and stories, and host workshops and events. Combining materials from folk music, performance art, experimental theatre, literature and philosophy, assemblage and drawing, LUNATRAKTORS search for new solutions to old problems, and old solutions to new ones.
Chris Roberts is a socially-engaged musician who works regularly across the UK and Europe. His musical voice has roots in his early classical training in guitar and composition, branches in jazz and folk traditions from around the world, and bears a sonic fruit that is original and exciting.
Joy Wilder is a visual artist who will be live painting at this concert, in direct response to Chri Robert’s live music. The painting will be auctioned to the crowd after the performance. Exciting!
