Crosswind Sessions is Southampton’s new folk concert series set in the beautiful Edmund Kell Chapel SO15 2AY. Showcasing some of the best musical talent on the instrumental folk scene today. Concert followed by a session, led by the invited band. Fri 6 Nov - Pagoda Project Inspired by the folk traditions of the UK, this is music and song cut through with experimentation, boldness, humour and risk. Expect ethereal to turn gutsy, passion and tears to be tempered by a good laugh and a tide of improvisation which means no two evenings are ever the same. "Paul Hutchinson’s utterly reliable and infinitely thoughtful accordion accompaniments, combined with Hannah Cumming’s most wonderful ‘folky’ voice and the delivery of the percussive drive one yearns to hear from a fiddle player were a joy. But with the addition of Karen Wimhurts’s divine clarinet/bass clarinet improvised bass lines, one felt all of a sudden that this might be as good as small scale modern English Folk Music performance ever gets...."
