Music for the Book of Deer, Strangeness and Charm

Inspired by the extraordinary tenth century Aberdeenshire gospel book, Richard Ingham leads an evening of plainsong, reels and electronic soundscapes.

A sonic rollercoaster. With bells. Featuring Strangeness and Charm, with Richard Ingham (reeds), Maarten Verbraeken (trumpet), Fraser Burke (keyboard), Kenny Irons (bass), Andy James (percussion).

'Richard Ingham’s Traditions Old and New, the pipes’ plangent lament joined by fiddle and accordion, then by a stirring heterophony of reed voicings.’ - Scotsman
