MUSICIANS, composers and folk music scholars The Rheingans Sisters will play songs from their third album Bright Field in Settle.

Since their award-winning album Already Home in 2015 the duo have cemented their reputation as an unmissable live act on the folk and world music stage.

The “full-hearted and graceful” performers and on-stage improvisers have been seen across the UK, Europe and Australia.

They offer a rich artistic approach to the deconstruction and reimagining of traditional music via the adventurous use of fiddles, voices, banjo, bansitar, tambourin à cordes, poetry and percussion.

Poignant compositions led to a busy night at the 2016 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, where they won the prestigious ‘Best Original Track’ award for their song Mackerel alongside a nomination in the ‘Horizon’ category for Best New Act.

While Anna Rheingans lives and works as a musician and violin teacher in Toulouse, Rowan Rheingans is one of the most in demand musicians on the UK folk scene.

She has had four other notable releases over the past two years, her trio Lady Maisery’s critically acclaimed third album Cycle as well as Nancy Kerr’s Instar, Welsh songwriter Gwyneth Glyn’s debut album Tro and the Songs of Separation project, which won the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for ‘Best Album’ in 2017.

The Rheingans Sisters play Victoria Hall, Settle, on May 7.
