Three Cane Whale
With support from Eleven Magpies
This event has passed.
An evening of deliciously uncategorisable instrumental music. Bristol’s acoustic multi-instrumental chamber-folk trio Three Cane Whale return to their favourite venue with a panoply of familiar and unusual instruments, and a set of atmospheric landscape-inspired tunes drawn from their four albums, as well as brand new unreleased material. Support is from old friends the delightful Eleven Magpies, a four-piece of stringed instruments led by Wise Children’s Ian Ross, who’ll be unveiling their new album “2 4 Joy”.
