Andy Cutting and Gudrun Walther
Thu 13 Nov 25
Thur 13 Nov 8pm
£16.50
Norden Farm Centre for the Arts, Altwood Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6 4PF
The duo of Walther and Cutting brings together two exceptional musicians for their tour. In their home countries, both artists are highly regarded within their genre, having received notable honors such as the BBC Folk Award and the Irish Music Award. Their debut album, Conversations, won the German Record Critics' Award (Best List I/2024). Their interplay is characterized by empathy and spontaneity. With just a diatonic accordion, violin, and vocals, their minimalist setup captivates audiences with its intensity. They embrace the freedom of improvisation, allowing each piece to unfold in real-time without strict arrangements. Their music flows like a conversation, exchanging thoughts and feelings—an essence captured in the title of their critically acclaimed album. To interact so freely, the musicians must have complete mastery of their instruments. Nevertheless, virtuosity never takes center stage; instead, the focus remains on the joy of musical exploration. Together, they create an immersive soundscape where the musicians navigate with confidence, inviting the audience to accompany them on this musical journey.

Folk Wales (UK) 'Two towering musicians at their best.' ? Folk London (UK) 'If there are still people thinking folk music is an exercise in repetition, Conversations will make them change their minds. A highly recommended album for both neophytes of the genre and for long time fans, which proves that music knows no borders.' Bright Young Folk (UK) Studio...
