Dear Magpie's Nest Mailing List

Well  2011 has set off on a cracking start for us at the Nest and we want to share the love with you all...

Tonight we hand on our crown as BBC Folk Club of the year to 2011's new torch bearer, thanks Auntie for letting us wear that one! We promise our head hasn't swollen from wearing it so long. Loads coming up this month including our now confirmed exclusive hosting of THE IMAGINED VILLAGE at Cecil Sharp House on March 1st. Also confirmed, a lovely stage at the Co-operative Cambridge Folk Festival and some other exclusives we won't overwhelm you with just yet!
Oh and you'll be pleased to know that the Nest's Sam Lee was the proud winner of The Arts Foudnation Award for Folk Music last week. Champers all round (in tankards of course)!

See you soon

 

The Magpie's N'est!

Skaidi
18th February : Kingsplace, 90 York Way, Kings Cross, London N1 9AG
£9.50 : 8pm

A special visit over from Norway, Jazz bassist Steinar Raknes and traditional yoiker Inga Juuso have created music that calms the icy plateau wind and makes the dark winter months seem snug and beautiful. In the duo Skaidi, Steinar Raknes and Inga Juuso tear jazz and yoik from their respective traditions and create a new, unrefined expression that transcends both traditions. For ten years these two artists have performed together in various ensembles, they have reciprocally influenced each other and developed a unique musical energy and communicative ability. The result is a distinctive musical landscape in which yoik and bass share equal pride of place.
