Acoustic folk concert by the duo Pendergast & Farrell, pairing English and Maritime Canadian traditional music, presented by St Albans Folk Music.
Pendergast & Farrell play St Saviour's Church on Sunday 22 November, the final date of their duo tour. The evening is presented by St Albans Folk Music, and it brings together two folk traditions with strong storytelling roots: Lucy Farrell is closely associated with English traditional music, while Shane Pendergast draws on the songs and musical culture of Maritime Canada. Hearing them side by side is the whole point of the duo, and this St Albans date is where the tour wraps up.
Farrell and Pendergast work as a duo under the name Pendergast & Farrell, and the set pulls from both of their backgrounds. Farrell's side of things is rooted in the English tradition, and Pendergast brings the songs and musical culture of Maritime Canada to the table. The two traditions meet in the middle, and the storytelling that underpins both of them is what holds the evening together. It's a folk programme in the truest sense, with the songs taking centre stage.
St Saviour's is a church and community venue on Sandpit Lane that hosts folk concerts, live music, food and drink festivals, and other public cultural events. The acoustic nature of the programme fits the setting, and the evening is presented by St Albans Folk Music. It's a Sunday night, so it's a good one to keep in mind if you're looking for something a bit quieter to end the weekend on.
