Imagined Village: Billy Bragg, Martin Carthy, Eliza Carthy, Sheila Chandra, Chris Wood and many more November 27, 2007

Gathering together an array of brilliant and challenging voices, and setting them in a musical framework that honours the past while updating it with breathtaking confidence, Simon Emmerson's The Imagined Village is arguably the most ambitious reinvention of the English folk tradition since Fairport Convention's Liege and Lief. The concert features a stellar cast including Billy Bragg, Martin Carthy, Eliza Carthy, Sheila Chandra and Chris Wood plus special guests backed by a band featuring members of Afrocelt Sound System, Transglobal Underground, The Bays and The Dhol Foundation.
