Daria Kulesh & Dariush Kanani

Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre Pub · London

An enchanting new collaboration between “one of the finest fingerstyle guitarists of his generation” Dariush Kanani and “the voice of fairytales” Daria Kulesh – an evening of pure escapism into the music of Anne Briggs, Sandy Denny, Bert Jansch, and other folk greats. Dariush “captures the spirit of the great players like Bert Jansch and John Renbourn and makes it his own” (Gordon Giltrap) while Daria is “one of the finest voices on the present folk scene” (Mike Harding), and has been compared to both Sandy Denny and Loreena McKennitt. Join two accomplished artists – with intriguing foreign roots and a deep love of British folk – on a stirring and hypnotic musical odyssey of rare beauty.

Hannah James and Toby Kuhn

Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre Pub · London

In a journey through sound, texture, emotion and rhythm, Hannah and Toby navigate the paths of growth, discovery, darkness and light, exploring the dialog of cello, voice, accordion and foot percussion in new and unexpected ways. Effortlessly blending, the pair play and dance through a series thoughtful tunes, soulful songs and joyful set-pieces in which Hannah’s vocal mastery is underpinned by Toby’s unorthodox delivery, weaving intricate layers of harmony and melody together to the beat and swish of percussive dance. Ever curious, always exploring their connection to the worlds around them, this duo offers an entirely novel, delicate, grounded and powerful performance.
