Folk at the New Room: Eleven Magpies

Join our monthly live folk music series in February with Eleven Magpies, with support from Bristol Folk House Singers.

Eleven Magpies is led by Bristol-based composer, multi-instrumentalist and music director Ian Ross (Wise Children, Kneehigh), and features Alex Vann (Spiro, Three Cane Whale), Elizabeth Westcott (Yesterday’s Camel) and James Gow (Jow).

Together, they chart a whirling journey of plucked and bowed strings, through humorous miniatures and sorrowful madrigal-esque beauty, then up into unexpected flights that come to land in moments of serene stillness.

An evening of acoustic live folk music by candlelight inspired by theatrical travels and reflections on grief, faith and joy.
