A gig on Friday 23rd May. The event starts at 20:00.
Greenbank Folk Club presents Mishra - Kate Griffin & Ford Collier
Mishra are a global folk duo from the UK gathering international recognition, who draw together roots in UK traditional music with continent-spanning musical textures into a multi-limbed virtuoso performance. Performing finely crafted songs with stunning vocals and exhilarating instrumentals, Mishra span eclectic moods; from meditative raag inspired improvisations to high-energy celtic dance tunes underpinned by unstoppable percussive grooves, they create an unaccountably big sound for just two people.
Since acclaimed musicians Kate Griffin (described as ‘one of the top banjo players in the country’ by virtuoso Dan Walsh) and Ford Collier (Young Folk Award Nominee with The Drystones) met in Sheffield over a shared passion for finding inspiration in Indian classical music, their genre defying approach to composition has taken them to festivals around the UK including Celtic Connections and Cambridge Folk Festival, international touring in New Zealand, and cross-cultural collaboration in Mozambique. 2023 saw them win a prestigious Danny Kyle award from Celtic Connections and tour the UK in collaboration with Indian classical/sufi singer Deepa Shakthi with support from Arts Council England.
"Fascinating stuff... I'm really enjoying Mishra's blend"
Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
“An airborne amalgam of cross-continental pollinations … More servings please”
Tim Cummings, Songlines Magazine
“It’s impossible to question the compelling tune-making at the heart of Mishra”
