A small but impeccably formed orchestra of just four players, they combine violin, guitar, accordion, double bass, saz and balalaika.

Other music events coming up include 3 Days in May, a mini festival over the bank holiday weekend (May 27 to 29) with leading blues singer/songwriter Eric Bibb, famous Irish folk artist Luka Bloom and Habadekuk, Denmark’s leading folk band.

Gravity Percussion Duo will take the helm on June 1 for the coffee concert in the Arts Centre.
