Annie Dearman, Vic Gammon and Steve Harrison perform English traditional balads and tunes in a robust and firmly rooted English style, accompanied on various squeezeboxes, banjo and mouth organ. Their repertory comes from folk song collectors of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; from manuscript tune and song books, ballad sheets and songs they just happen to hear and like.

Their CD Black Crow White Crow has had great reviews:

...powerful lusty vocals from Annie Dearman, Steve Harrison's sensitive melodeon accompaniment, distinctive unaccompanied singing of Vic Gammon...What stands out for me are the wonderful tunes to the largely traditional material... - Shreds and Patches.

A really rather splendid album...Singers such as Dearman, Gammon and Harrison are producing a new tradition - one based firmly in the older traditions, but also one that displays its own vitality and innovation. - Musical Traditions. Read more »

Venue: Clothworkers Centenary Concert Hall, The School of Music, The University of Leeds
Location: Leeds
7pm (Pre show talk) and 7.45pm (Film). One of the most moving collections of Renaissance vocal music brought to life as a contemporary drama specifically for the screen. A special film showing and introductory talk on the making of John La Bouchardière's critically acclaimed debut film The Full Monteverdi, featuring leading vocal ensemble I Fagiolini directed by Robert Hollingworth.

Claudio Monteverdi's Fourth book of Madrigals (1603) explores differing emotional states of abandoned lovers through the most dramatic and amazingly modern music for vocal ensemble. The Full Monteverdi follows the simultaneous break-up of six couples, from shocking revelation, vengeful anger and erotic longing for reconciliation, as an ensemble film. Vulnerable and disarming, it draws viewers into its emotional journey and intensely moving portrait of contemporary love.

Bouchardière's verité-style direction, reminiscent of Kieslowski in its bold opening silence and unrelenting in emotional delivery, has the makings of an award winner - Andrew Stewart, Early Music Review.

This brilliant film... sung with consummate artistry... - Richard Lawrence, Classic FM Magazine. Read more »
