April 23 -Kimpton Folk Events present …
Kimpton Folk Events is bringing you a preview performance of one of its main acts for 2016 – Wild Willy Barrett and his French Connection. From a cafe in Paris, via a hoolie in Dublin, to a night out in New Orleans with rip-roaring fiddle and banjo, this April concert is a pipe-opener for our big day in July.
According to the band, this act is different from anything else you will experience in the UK at the moment and they’ll be back in July for the Kimpton Folk Festival proper. The ensemble is built around the celebrated talents of multi-instrumentalist Wild Willy Barrett, the cellist Mary Holland and Irish pipes and whistle player John Devine. Charismatic French singer Aurora Colson will be centre stage with her compelling and expressive vocals across wide range of styles, bluegrass, acoustic blues, haunting Irish melodies plus a touch of Piaf.
This will be an evening of foot-stomping, crazy entertainment – according to the band, very different from anything else on offer in the UK.
Tickets are just £10 and selling well, so click to get your Wild Willy Barrett tickets now and we’ll look forward to welcoming you.
