2pm Wednesday 5 May with Mishra

Mishra are a Sheffield-based global folk duo, drawing on their unique base of influences that encompasses folk music of the UK and America, Indian classical music, and soul to create a surprisingly accessible sound that audiences instantly connect to. Between the two of them, Kate Griffin and Ford Collier create a rich texture from their array of instruments: Irish low whistle, banjo, Indian tabla, dobro, African calabash, and guitar, all of which provide a vibrant backdrop to Kate’s striking vocals. This concert is made possible with support from The Whitaker Trust.

2pm Wednesday 12 May with Flauguissimo Duo

Join us for a wonderful afternoon of early music with Yu-Wei Hu on baroque & classical flute and Johan Löfving on theorbo & romantic guitar. Yu-Wei and Johan specialise in a historically-informed but lively and exciting interpretation of music. They present a variety of music from the 18th and 19th centuries, as the intimate setting of flute and guitar flourished in the salon culture throughout Europe at the time. This concert is made possible with support from LNER.

2pm Wednesday 19 May with Simon Robinson

Simon Robinson is a folk musician, music educator and workshop leader from Yorkshire playing a wide repertoire of music, ranging from American mountain songs and ballads, British folk songs and blues and spirituals. This concert is made possible with support from The Whitaker Trust.

2pm Wednesday 26 May with The Dovetail Trio
