DUE TO THE ARRIVAL OF THE OLYMPIC TORCH OUTSIDE THE HALL PLEASE ALLOW EXTRA TIME WHEN TRAVELLING TO THIS CONCERT. The vibrant orchestral colours of Debussy’s Images conjure the heat, dancing crowds, and intoxicating fragrance of Spain, including the atmospheric sun-drenched Iberia. Shostakovich’s troubled and searingly urgent First Violin Concerto is one of his greatest works..

KAN

Brian Finnegan and Aidan O'Rourke, front men with two of the most revered bands ever to have thrilled the folk scene, BBC Award winning Flook and Lau, join forces with Ian Stephenson on guitar and Jim Goodwin on drums to create an enthralling and beautiful new sound.
Brian and Aidan are an irresistible partnership, both men with a style that is fiercely unique; Brian's grounded in the Irish tradition, Aidan's in both the Irish and Scottish, both highly accomplished improvisers and celebrated composers with a brace of solo CDs each, and neither afraid to take risks and explore new sonic frontiers.
Yorkshire guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Ian Stephenson, no stranger to BBC awards himself, with his band 422 and work with Kathryn Tickell and Chris Stout, is at the forefront of the new wave of rhythm accompanists, but it is his willingness to experiment and hone his own bass/funk style of play that makes this sonic whiz kid such an exciting player. His teaming up with rhythm master Jim Goodwin, drummer and percussionist with the Halle and Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, has forged a formidable rhythm department, full of drive and imagination.
Together, all four have a largely intuitive ability to journey into the heart and soul of a melody, to take it somewhere fresh and new... however old... and to take the listener with them.
As is often the way, the boys from KAN have been mates for years, meeting in the early days through their love for traditional music in its most natural of settings, the session - and then later, collaborating on various cross genre projects at home and abroad and guesting on one another's records, never far off the radar of one another. No surprise that gravity would eventually draw them together and they would make their move as a band.
"Terrifically tight... intensely lyrical... heavyweight rhythmic attack" -The Scotsman
