We have some wonderful concerts coming up:

Furness Tradition apologises for some confusion around start time for the Duncan Chisholm concert – we are looking into this in conjunction with Coronation Hall and will take steps to ensure clarity for future events.
We hope this did not mar anyone’s experience of what was a remarkable and very moving evening of very fine music.

Hannah James has been an unmatched force of innovation in British folk for nearly two decades. 
A multi-faceted performer, James’ virtuoso talent spans all her four disciplines: singer, accordionist, composer and clog dancer. Hannah first played at Furness Tradition as a member of Kerfuffle; her clog dancing had the audience demanding an encore. She and Sam Sweeney supported Steeleye Span at Forum in Barrow and the audience were very taken with the support act. Hannah’s most recent visit to Ulverston was in May as a member of Lady Maisery; again a very popular concert.
In 2015, Hannah introduced her one-woman show, JigDoll, an immersive, unforgettable song and dance experience mixing cutting-edge looping technology with vocal, accordion and composition skill, a multi-layered soundscape, providing the backdrop for Hannah’s spellbinding fusion of traditional and wholly original dance. 
JigDoll Ensemble sees Hannah joined by three masters of their instrument: percussionist András Des (Hungary), fiddle player Kate Young (Scotland), and bassist Marti Tarn (Estonia), perfectly articulate James’ visionary ideas for song, tune and dance. 
The resulting live masterpiece debuted at 2017’s English Folk Expo, gaining an awestruck standing ovation from distinguished folk industry professionals from around the globe.
