An Evening with Tightrope Moon at Cafe No9

The Spiel

Tightrope Moon cast a silver web over their audiences as violin, viola and vocals entwine in celestial sounds and hypnotic melodies. From gritty re-imaginings of English, Swedish and American tunes to delicate compositions and ethereal improvisations, their music feels like secrets whispered in the dark. Seth Bye and Cori Smith have performed at leading folk festivals including Sidmouth, Cambridge, FolkEast, and Shrewsbury. Cori, a BBC Young Musician finalist, is renowned for her performances across England and Sweden, while Seth's work in Filkin's Drift has recently been featured on BBC Radio 2, 3, 4, and 6 Music. Tightrope Moon's electrifying groove-based tunes create a sound that is otherworldly, yet deeply rooted in tradition. "So lush" - Alex Garden "Great" - The Rheingans Sisters "A mesmeric quality, twixt the lightness of being and darker aspects of us being human - they brought awareness to the delicate entanglements between other beings, nature's wonders and being human." - Louise Warner ********************************************************************************** Please note this ticket price DOES include a BYOB fee should you wish to bring alcohol to the venue. All additional purchases of non alcoholic drinks and home baked sweet treats from the cafe counter are always very much appreciated.
