Opa Rosa

FRIDAY NIGHT

Opa Rosa

BRISTOL FOLK HOUSE
Friday 28 April  | Doors 7.30 pm

Opa Rosa

Fast gaining a reputation as one of Bristol’s most energetic, virtuosic bands, Opa Rosa are steeped in the Klezmer, Balkan, Greek & Roma traditions.

With decades of study between them, the quintet capture the joy and sorrow of traditional Eastern European music, adding their own pulsing contemporary twist.

Violin, clarinet, accordion, double bass & percussion intertwine to create grooving rhythms, soaring melodies & rich, nuanced harmonic structures.

Following the release of debut album ‘A Feast from the East’ Opa Rosa have toured internationally, captivating audiences with their high-energy performances. Recent gigs include sold-out shows at Bristol Beacon, Green Note (London), The Cornish Bank (Falmouth), Jamboree (London) & festivals, including Secret Garden Party.

Let Opa Rosa lead you on a fiery foot-stomping journey through the Balkans and beyond!

Fritillaries

Fritillaries is the project of folk/Americana songwriter Hannah Pawson, a Bristol-based performer that counts Cerys Matthews amongst her growing fanbase.

Original & engaging Fritillaries intertwine Americana instrumentation, English folk roots & a pop sensibility. Recent songs have their hands in the soil, taking a compassionate look at the shadowy parts of ourselves.

Nominated by FATEA for best debut album, Fritillaries have had airplay on BBC Radio 6, Radio 2 & Folk Radio UK.

‘touchingly poetic, an enthrallingly scenic, tranquil and fruitful debut’ Folk Radio UK
