The Turtle Duhks & Footworks

We’re proud to announce a real exclusive for Shrewsbury in 2011.

You may remember that Leonard Podolak came over from Canada with the Duhks a couple of years ago, and was very well received by all.

Lenny is still playing with the Duhks, but is bringing over his Turtle Duhks for SFF 2011.

As a special treat for Shrewsbury, he is bringing a team of dancers from the Canada called Footworks.

The music is rooted firmly in the tradition of Appalachia, and is performed with the groove and drive of rock'n'roll, Celtic music, jazz and funk. But expect something extra special when the dancers add their percussive beat to the performance.

We’ll have Leonard over here in March as part of our Cecil Sharp Project, and the project will also have a big performance at the festival in August.

Excellent! I'd come back again to see him alone, but the line-up is starting to look really special for 2011. Will be buying tickets as soon as Xmas financial excess is out of the way!
