What's on
WEDNESDAY 14th JUNE THE SHACKLETON TRIO
A highly original and energetic musical force that combines captivating songwriting, fiery tunes and powerful three part harmonies. The Shackleton Trio are Georgia Shackleton (fiddle, vocals), Aaren Bennett (guitar) and Nic Zuppardi (mandolin). Natural talents of the folk tradition, their self-penned material blends seamlessly with their imaginative yet authentic re-workings of traditional folk standards, influenced by British, American and Scandinavian folk traditions but remaining firmly rooted in the local tradition of the band’s native East Anglia.
