Alistair Anderson is an internationally renowned musician, composer, musical catalyst and the Artistic Director of Folkworks, one of the two founding partners of The Sage Gateshead. He brings an exciting mix of folk and traditional music: the brilliant guitarist Martin Simpson, who won Album of the Year and Best Original Song in the BBC Folk Awards this year and the superb band 422, winners of the 1999 BBC Young Folk Award. They will be joined by the wonderful singers Emily Portman and Lauren McCormick, who have toured and recorded with Waterson:Carthy. There's also new music by Anderson, performed by rising young stars. As the day comes to an end we clear the chairs for a Ceilidh with Alistair and 422. This should be a night to remember.
