RAPHAEL ROGIŃSKI, AILBHE NIC OIREACHTAIGH & GENGHIS COHN
Raphael Rogiński is a Polish guitarist, composer and performer, improviser, cultural animator and researcher of musical folklore. A absurdly gifted guitarist, Raphael's otherworldly music goes very deep indeed. Take a listen to 'Talán' from last year it's really something and this live performance will be bona fide magic.
Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh is an Irish viola player living in Glasgow who explores the tonal possibilities of gut strings and wood in both amplified and acoustic contexts. Her amalgamations of influences from improvised, traditional and early music styles can be heard on her awesome solo recordings ‘Oreing' (Fort Evil Fruit 2017), ‘The Rounds' (KRUT 2021) and most recently ‘Live At Sonic Acts’ (Scatter Archive 2023). Artists Nic Oireachtaigh has previously collaborated with include Natalia Beyliss, Pat Thomas, Rhodri Davies, Jon Collin.
Genghis Cohn aka London-based Gil Shani quietly released a truly special LP called ‘Iron Day’ towards the end of last year - a collection of twelve magnificently crafted, timeless and direct songs which move from heartfelt serenades to devilish summonings about devotional bone temples. A deceivingly talented finger-picking guitarist with a rich, enigmatic baritone, expect high rewards on becoming familiar with the curious and intricate music of Genghis Cohn.
£12 full / £8 concessions or with BNM festival pass.
