Everyone knows what to expect from English folk or traditional Irish music. But if you fancy something a little different we have just the thing at Halton Borough Council’s Brindley Theatre.
The international award winning folk band from the valleys Wales Calan is back in Halton on Sunday 15 April. I bet some of you have never heard Welsh bagpipes. Well here is your chance.
The band is on the road its infectious rhythms and high energy routines to celebrate the release of latest album ‘Solomon’. The band comes with accordion, harp, guitar, fiddles and Welsh bagpipes along with a virtuoso performance from a champion step dancer.
They have a fresh and vibrant sound with a pounding beat set against the backdrop of old traditions. Songs include the legend of Wales’ very own fairy realm with a tale of magic, myth and mischief along with some of the most beautiful and haunting melodies.
FROOTS magazine said of the group: “A diverse ride between giddy Welsh reeling, healthy acoustic folk-pop with upfront attitude and brashness of youth.”
Calan has introduced a new generation to Welsh music – and continue to do so as they tour Europe, North America, Australia and Asia.
