About this event
Eleven Magpies is a quartet of musicians who met doing theatre. Led by Bristol-based composer, multi-instrumentalist and music director Ian Ross (Wise Children, Kneehigh), the band features Alex Vann (Spiro, Three Cane Whale), Elizabeth Westcott (Yesterday’s Camel) and James Gow (JOW). Together, they chart a whirling journey of plucked and bowed strings, through humorous miniatures and sorrowful madrigal-esque beauty, then up into unexpected flights that come to land in moments of serene stillness. Their first album Eleven Magpies was a collection of tunes written by Ian, reflecting his experience touring in the United States of America and the UK, and their second album Two for Joy (released in spring 2023) explores loss and life, family, friendship and well-beingfollowing the death of his mother in the summer of 2021.
Support will come from fellow theatrical collaborator Tim Dalling.
A evening guaranteed to entertain and nourish the soul, with the best backdrop in the land.
