LIVE & LIVE STREAMED
The Ciderhouse Rebellion duo is fiddle player Adam Summerhayes (“Paganini of the traditional violin.” fRoots) and master accordionist Murray Grainger. “Two virtuoso musicians playing some of the most startling and original music you will ever encounter. Compelling, exciting and utterly original” Phil Beer Everything they do has an improvisatory focus, so each recording and each performance is uniquely magical, whether springing from a single unplanned note or a trad tune. They first discovered their rare and magical connection instantly on stage when Murray was invited to dip for an Edith Piaf Trio gig. “We were immediately able to play as if it was our 1000th gig, not our first”, says Murray.
The Ciderhouse Rebellion team up with poet Jessie Summerhayes (recently featured on BBC Radio 4’s Power Lines) for a mix of spoken word with Jessie’s folk tone poems, plus Adam and Murray’s spontaneous music as a backdrop.
