Trio plays at folk club

The Troubadour Central Coast folk club will host virtuosic instrumental trio The String Contingent on Saturday, April 16, at the CWA Hall, Woy Woy, from 7pm.

"The String Contingent compose and perform music that explores the full spectrum of musical expression," said Troubadour publicity officer Ms Willy Timmerman.

Australians Chris Stone on violin and Holly Downes on double bass and Scotsman Graham McLeod on guitar integrate disparate musical styles.

The group draws from genres including celtic, classical, jazz and bluegrass.

"Their multi-faceted approach results in highly accessible yet sophisticated music that captivates audiences from any genre, while retaining their own unique style," said Ms Timmerman.

Troubadour is a group of amateur folk singers, musicians and poets who hold a concert once a month with a guest artist from outside the area.
