A Galician tune, performed at Music By The Sea

October 4, 2017 Wendy Lang

In early September, my multicultural music group Ensemble Diaspora performed at Sandgate Town Hall, as part of the beloved Music by the Sea series that is held there once a month. 

This was the first time I'd ever performed in Sandgate - and was blown away by how enthusiastic the audience was. I was told it was a full house! A concert of Middle Eastern, Eastern European, and Celtic folk music might be seen as "niche", but the audience seemed to love every minute of it - calling for an encore at the end! 

In addition to our usual Ensemble Diaspora setlist, we broke into duets and trios throughout. Here is a video of Martin Reese and I playing a Galician tune. I don't even know the name of this tune. I heard it played by an Irish musician named Adrian Jeffries at an Irish music session around a decade ago, which I recorded and learnt. Thankfully, Martin somehow knows the chords, so two days before the show, we decided to perform it! (Well, I decided, and Martin was happy to play it, because he is a legend. Between the beautiful acoustics of Sandgate Town Hall, and the talents and care of the wonderful sound technician - I think it sounded rather lovely! 

Thanks to Music By The Sea for asking us to perform and for capturing this video.

And, thank-you to our audience at Sandgate It was a blast!
