This double bill concert is presented as part of the 19th Return to Camden Town Festival.

Few musicians in any field achieve a position where audiences and experts agree on their pre-eminence and mastery of an instrument, Noel Hill’s virtuosity has firmly established him as the defining Irish concertina player of our time. Noel’s third solo album Irish Concertina 3, released in 2017, was recorded live in New York. His recording credits stem back to his iconic 1970s recording with Tony Linnane (fiddle) and Alec Finn (bouzouki). He has toured worldwide including Europe, USA, Canada, China, Hong Kong and Australia.

The four members of Artisan Row have been important musicians on London’s traditional/folk circuit for nearly 20 years, featuring Conor Doherty (guitars/ vocal), Elma McElligott (sax, flute, whistle), Pete Quinn (piano) and Karen Ryan (banjo, mandola, fiddle, whistle). In autumn 2017, they released their debut album Wild Winds.

Artisan Row have fashioned an album which delivers on so many levels.  Bright Young Folk
