On Sunday 1st August the Ravenous Café plays host to a thrilling line-up of musicians. Laura Cannell (originally from Raveningham) is hosting an afternoon of music performed by highly acclaimed musicians, including her own duo Horses Brawl (described by The Times as ‘Virtuoso Magpie Musicians), baroque and folk fiddle player Jim O’Toole from Pakefield and members of the Norfolk folk supergroup – The Rampant Horse Collective.
Laura is currently working on a project with Horses Brawl which is funded by the Arts Council of England and will see them performing their new works at the prestigious Brighton Early Music Festival and National Portrait Gallery Friday Concert Series amongst others. She is also the current recipient of a grant awarded to her by the Musician’s Benevolent Fund, enabling Laura to research into various fiddle styles. Alongside a selection of medieval, baroque and folk music, Laura has also invited some of her most promising recorder students to perform.
Horses Brawl have recently returned from a six week tour of England which included a sell out date at Leasowes Bank Arts Festival in Shropshire, Leigh Folk Festival in Essex, The Grassington Festival in North Yorkshire with Storyteller Hugh Lupton, The Wymondham Festival, The Square Chapel in Halifax and Quay Arts centre on the Isle of Wight where they were filmed live in concert for the UK Entertainment Channel.
The Café will be serving a ‘Tea Party’ menu, which includes cucumber sandwiches, homemade cupcakes and lashings and lashings of ginger beer!
The Café is open from 10am – 5pm and the performance is from 2pm – 4pm.
