SUMMARY:FAIRFIELD ETHIO-JAZZ PROJECT
DESCRIPTION:Frome’s finest contemporary musicians join forces with stars from across the South West in a unique musical tribute to the region’s historic residency of former Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I. Laura Jurd\, Will Gregory\, Martin Kolarides and other local luminaries explore Ethio-Jazz\, a unique fusion of the traditions of jazz and African music. \nFrom 1936-1941(43) HIM Emperor Haile Selassie I and the Royal Family lived in exile in Fairfield House\, Bath during Mussolini’s invasion of Ethiopia. After his return to Ethiopia a flourishing jazz scene emerged during the 1960s & 70s\, led by musicians such as Mulatu Astatke\, Hailu Mergia & Walias Band. \nToday Fairfield House\, Bath is a community social enterprise dedicated to preserving and celebrating HIM’s legacy www.fairfieldhousebath.co.uk. When Bath celebrated the 70th anniversary of HIM being awarded the Freedom of the City Fairfield House convened its Ethio-Jazz Project to support those celebrations. \nFairfield Ethio-Jazz Project’s debut album ‘Bath Ketema’ is released in 2026 by Kelston Records & Severn Songs both digitally and on vinyl (also featuring Adrian Utley and Harriet Riley).

SUMMARY:MUSICKE IN THE AYRE - SILVER SOUNDS OF THE ROMAN SEICENTO
DESCRIPTION:A delightful programme of early Baroque music from Rome\, with the voices of Maria Danishvar\, Jane Hunt and Philippa Neaverson soaring over Din Ghani’s archlute and baroque guitar in a happy hour of music that is intimate\, expressive\, and full of character — music that feels surprisingly direct\, even four hundred years on. \nMusicke in the Ayre’s contribution to the Festival’s 25th Anniversary features music by Rossi\, Carissimi\, Landi and Kapsberger – oustanding composers associated with Rome and the powerful Papal dynasties whose patronage enabled the flowering of such talent and creativity. This was a time when composers began to experiment with ways of affecting the listener\, of touching the heart\, and lifting the spirit. \nDin Ghani formed Musicke in the Ayre fifteen years ago as a vehicle for exploring and performing the wonderful and extensive repertoire for voice and plucked string from the 16th and 17th centuries across Europe. He has been fortunate enough to work with a team of keen singers who share his enthusiam for this music; together they have benefited from coaching and encouragement from Dame Emma Kirkby\, Evelyn Tubb\, Michael Fields and the late David Miller\, among others. They have given over 190 performances across the UK and on the Continent. Maria\, Jane and Philippa are well-known locally as solo and choral singers; they have been key members of the team for over a decade. \nAs well as researching\, designing and directing all their programmes\, Din has also built most of the instruments he uses\, including the two used in this concert.

SUMMARY:THE RAVENS OF GALLIS ROW + BURN THE MIDNIGHT OIL
DESCRIPTION:Folk-rock alchemy transforming leaden woes into sonic gold inspired by 60s/70s psychedelia\, dirty blues and southern rock; drawing favourable comparisons to The Doors\, Jefferson Airplane\, Steve Winwood and The Black Crowes (on a good day!) \nThe Ravens of Gallis Row (formerly Judas Goat & the Bellwether) are a five-piece band formed in 2024 in South West England\, featuring Sara Vian (vocals/lyrics)\, Pete Vincent (acoustic guitar)\, Jim Scriven (bass)\, Sash Impey (lead guitar) and Stefan Steinhoff (drums). \nTheir songs sit somewhere between protest\, parable and cinematic soundtrack with their debut single “There Is Always a Dawn” receiving recognition from the International Climate Film Festival songwriting competition and studio time at the Bert Jansch Studio in Frome. \nThey have since released three more singles and are honing their craft with performances at the International Climate Film Festival\, Frome Festival\, Bradford on Avon Music Festival and Lovington Festival alongside regular appearances at respected music pubs and grassroots venues across the South West. \nhttps://linktr.ee/theravensofgallisrow \nBurn the Midnight Oil\nForged in fire.

SUMMARY:STRINGS OF LIGHT - SECRETS OF THE HARP GUITAR
DESCRIPTION:International award-winning guitarist and composer Jon Pickard presents a rare solo performance on the extraordinary 23-string harp guitar. Fresh from headlining the 5th International European Harp Guitar Festival in Saujon France\, and winning the prestigious ‘Best Guitar Composition’ at the Široki Brijeg Guitarist Festival in Herzegovina. Jon blends classical\, folk and original music\, creating shimmering textures and lyrical storytelling with an immersive\, transporting experience. “Weaves a flying carpet on the strings… almost unbelievable\, technically and stylistically.” — Akustik Gitarre Magazine. \nThe performance invites audiences into a deeper\, more attentive way of listening\, echoing an older tradition where music and storytelling were inseparable. Sound unfolds magically\, allowing resonance and silence to shape the experience as much as melody. The effect is mesmerising and deeply physical\, filling the space and encouraging the imagination to wander freely\, as if stepping briefly outside modern time. \nAt the heart of the programme are not 1 but 2 of the rarest instruments in the world\, with over 300 years of history\, whose origins trace back to early European music-making\, yet whose voices still feels startlingly fresh. In Jon Pickard’s hands\, the harp-guitars become vessels for atmosphere and narrative\, capable of conjuring vast inner landscapes from a single performer. Audiences frequently describe a sense of journey and transformation\, captured by BritishTheatre.com: “In Pickard’s hands the ability of the instruments to teleport the listener is breath-taking.” \nEmotion runs powerfully throughout the music. Rather than demanding attention\, it draws listeners inward\, offering moments of reflection\, wonder\, and a rare depth. The Fine Times Recorder describes the experience as “Beautiful\, atmospheric….profoundly emotional and spiritual…You want to close your eyes and let the pictures created by the musician take you.” Each listener is free to discover their own stories within the sound. \n
