Ranagri

ACE Space · Newbury

Ranagri's Say Hello Tour heralds a bold new era for this award-winning indie folk band, bringing their signature cinematic, prog-infused folk music to venues up and down the UK this Autumn. With five studio albums under their belt, a wealth of international touring experience, and standout appearances at major festivals, Ranagri have built a formidable reputation on the global stage, captivating audiences from across Europe to Australia, Montreal and New Orleans. Now, they turn inward, reconnecting with their roots for what promises to be their most evocative and personal tour to date. Steeped in stories of Ranagri - the farmland in rural Ireland from which the band takes its name - their new album explores themes of migration, identity, and the enduring search for the meaning of home. It is a work of depth and resonance, shaped by lived experiences and a profound sense of place. Renowned for their commanding live performances, the band delivers a sound that is both intricate and expansive. Soaring vocals, rich harmonies, and driving rhythmic energy intertwine with masterful instrumentation - flutes, whistles, harp, bodhrán, hammered dulcimer, percussion and guitars - forming a vi...

Pagoda Progect

ACE Space · Newbury

Pagoda Project unites three standout UK artists—accordionist/composer/educator Paul Hutchinson, clarinettist/bass clarinettist Karen Wimhurst, and fiddle-singer Hannah Cumming, to reimagine British folk with fearless curiosity. Rooted in tradition yet restlessly inventive, the trio move from the ethereal to the gutsy, blending original works and re-shaped tunes with improvisation, humour and vivid dynamic contrast. Their on-stage chemistry and spontaneous interplay mean no two nights are never the same. The evolution of Pagoda Project and the monthly gigs at ACE Space have been intertwinned. It started in January 2015 when Pagoda|duo (Paul and Karen) were the third gig to be booked at ACE Space. Little did we suspect that 11+ years on the monthly gigs would still be running and that Pagoda Project would be returning in their current trio line-up. Inbetween time Pagoda Project (Paul and Karen) appeared in February 2018 and again in May 2023 when, joined by Anna Tam they appeared as Coracle. Billed as Coracle the current trio (Paul, Karen and Hannah) were part of the Newbury Spring Festival last year.
