An evening of folk music in Sheffield General Cemetery’s beautiful Samuel Worth Chapel. Featuring:

Shovel Dance Collective (Quartet)

Nurturing a passion for the folk musics of the British Isles and Ireland with experimental tendencies, Shovel Dance Collective explore the ways in which traditional music holds queer histories, proto-feminist narratives and the voices of working people. They are simultaneously traditional and experimental, seeing folk music as a living communal activity, inviting and generous to those it speaks to.

Jennifer Reid

“Folk music has lost it’s way, and people have lost track of their geographical heritage.” The working classes made music as a provocation and this is a tradition Jennifer continues. She is a performer of nineteenth-century Lancashire dialect and Victorian broadside ballads.
