KEELE CONCERTS THE NORDIC FIDDLERS BLOC Wednesday 7 March 2018 | 7:30pm KEELE UNIVERSITY CHAPEL The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc comprise Olav Luksengård Mjelva (Norway), Anders Hall (Sweden) and Kevin Henderson (Shetland). Individually they are regarded as three of the finest young fiddle players currently working in the international folk music scene, while collectively they are now finding themselves increasingly in demand across the world due to this unique collaboration. £15 Norway, Sweden and Shetland have three of the richest fiddle traditions in the world, with documented historical links going back hundreds of years. The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc seek to bring those historical links and traditions alive and present them in a new, exciting, dynamic and meaningful fashion, while nevertheless remaining f aithful to the roots of each tradition. While blending the individual styles together they never-the-less allow each distinctive flavour to unfold into a combined sound that’s unique, intense and invigorating, while their live show is peppered through with significant amounts of onstage good humour and banter into the bargain. £8 STUDENT CONCESSION Photo credit: Ingvil Skeie Ljones 24 FREE 16 AND UNDER AND KEELE MUSIC STUDENTS BECOME A KCS MEMBER TODAY KEELE CONCERT BAND SPRING CONCERT Saturday 10 March 2018 | 7pm KEELE UNIVERSITY CHAPEL £6 £4 CONCESSIONS FREE 12 AND UNDER Keele Concert Band’s Annual Spring Concert.
