Fay
has teamed up once again with fiddle maestro Sam Sweeney and Rob Harbron on concertina to tour songs from her new album, Wrackline, and some old
favourites.
Exploring
ideas of the space between, Wrackline
was inspired by ghosts, fairies, spirits and talking animals to understand what
it is about the unknown that entrances us. Working with traditional materials
and ideas, Fay explores the feelings they evoke and how they relate to her
experience in the contemporary world. Universal ideas of death, love,
motherhood echo through time and space. Playing with these difficult ideas through
the eyes of an unobtainable other, whether that be the spirit of a dearly
departed, a fairy from another realm, or the thoughts animals have, gives us
space to work through very real social problems.
Shifting
between lighthearted stories about drunks sitting with pigs, to darker
questions about infanticide, Fay breaths life and meaning into old stories
presenting them with a fresh twist and consummate musicianship from Sweeney and
Harbron including fiddle, concertina, guitar and banjo.
Expect to be enveloped in music, woven through magical stories and teased into thinking about your relationship with the world around you.
