Some of our performances are unique, multi-media experiences with both live music and visual presentations using projected images and lyrics. Other performances are more conventional musical presentations and for both types audience participation is a major objective in which “sing-along” is encouraged. |

“A Tour of the British Isles”: 45 mins.
“A Tour of the British Isles” consists of 12 traditional British folk songs which we play, and sing with a computer based rhythm accompaniment. Each song is presented with a narration and with sequenced, computer-controlled presentations of photographs, paintings and prints relevant to the lyrics of the song which are also projected on the screen behind us. The performance is intended to give the audience a sense of what a tour of the four countries of the British Isles would be like and to enable them to join in the singing of the well-known songs. |
