Sheelanagig

Sheelanagig have been whipping up a storm of foot-stomping, roof-raising, high-energy live folk for nigh on twenty years. They return to London with a family-friendly daytime show at the Fox!

With an arsenal of strings, soaring flute, pounding  drums and a sprinkle of fairy dust they spin melodies that have set feet flying all across  the globe. Their shows are a heady mix of raucous dance medleys and thoughtfully  crafted original pieces feverishly brimming with fire, flair and finesse. Floors tremble and  windows rattle in their presence; these rapturous minstrels are not to be missed under  any circumstance.

Drawing deep from a bountiful well of European folk traditions, from medieval melodies to  modern grooves, from baroque to folk-rock, Sheelanagig’s irresistible alchemy makes it  impossible to stand still. Their infectious energy and mischievous stagecraft are matched  only by their impeccable musicianship—delighting festival crowds and intimate venues  alike.

"What a joy… a good night out guaranteed." – Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
