Carmina's music blends folk, jazz and Celtic themes, performed by a group of multi-instrumentalists. The band's founders and award-winning songwriters Pippa Marland (vocals, saxophones, and whistles) and Rob King (acoustic guitar, mandola and bodhran) are celebrating a 40-year collaboration with the release of a new album, 'Late Light'. For this special show, the duo are joined by the stellar line-up of Paul Bradley (vocals and electric and acoustic guitar), Diarmaid Moynihan (Uilleann pipes and whistles) and David Gordon (piano). 'Late Light' sees the band returning to their folk roots with a selection of Irish and English traditional ballads, including 'The Parting Glass' and 'She Moved Through the Fair', and traditional tunes as well as strong original songs. The recording of the title track 'Late Light' features a number of singers from the Wye and Usk valleys who made up a community choir in the studio some of whom will join us for the finale to the concert.
