Carmina began their career in Bristol in the 1990s; since then they have toured all over the world and recorded 6 albums, two of which were produced by the highly-respected Irish musician Donal Lunny. Their music is an intoxicating blend of Celtic-inspired themes and jazz improvisation, woven together in powerful original songs.
Carmina have recently recorded a new album at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios; this features their own core band of world-class players, some of the best UK jazz and folk musicians, and 2 choirs. The concert will feature tracks from this album, plus new arrangements of both traditional Celtic and contemporary material.
Carmina's pianist is Geoff Castle, whose legendary, all-embracing career has spanned decades, and who is rightly regarded as one of the foremost UK jazz pianists. Special guest for this concert is one of the top jazz/world players in the country, the double bass player Nick Kacal. The combination of these two players promises to create a powerful, soulful rhythm section to support the founder-members of Carmina, the songwriting duo of Pippa Marland (vocals, saxes, whistles) and Rob King (acoustic guitar, bodhran). The concert will also feature the wonderful guitar and vocals of Paul Bradley.
