   About Joglaresa (Storytelling)
MUSIC AND SPOKEN WORD:
The Carpet of Dreams - Hauntingly beautiful Jewish and Arabic stories of love, trickery, magic and transformation, interspersed with Joglaresa’s exotic music and Mediterranean instruments.

Four Thousand Winters - Instead of a traditional Christmas concert, book Joglaresa’s alternative programme for Winter and Yuletide - full of frost, shivers, darkness and delight.

The Two Marys - Heartwarming apocryphal tales and medieval songs about the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalen - with female voices and harp.

Zarina's Orchard - An interactive, storytelling concert for 7 - 10 year olds

Storyteller - Sally Pomme Clayton has performed with The London Sinfonietta, The Brodsky Quartet, Welsh National Opera, and at WOMAD 2004.



Joglaresa are a London-based British/Israeli/Irish/Arabic band who comprise outstanding international performers from the spheres of classical, world music and jazz. They have a sound that is at once traditional and contemporary - combining intoxicating elements of Medieval, Middle Eastern, Flamenco and Celtic musics, they meld together a sound that is both extrovert and intimate.

"One of the country’s most highly regarded storytellers... Sally awakens the imagination... One marked highlight of St. John’s Smith Square’s Christmas festivities was the group Joglaresa - it was packed with punters, for Belinda Sykes’s spirited medieval ensemble" The Independent

“A superior collection of first-rate musicians” Songlines

“Joglaresa kick medieval music out of the cloister and into the marketplace ... performances full of personality. Sykes’ voice has great emotional range, luxuriating in Arab eroticism, next hollering the Bulgarian style and tumbling into a jacuzzi of yodelling.” The Wire

“Sykes’ study of voice and improvisation in North Africa, Spain and the Middle East was thrillingly evident “ The Times

"carnival-like exuberance - enjoyable and virtuosic" FROOTS Magazine

Their performances include the opening concert at the Aldeburgh Festival and the closing concert at York Early Music Festival; London's Lufthansa Festival (where they put "brought in one of the largest audiences at the festival"), the Queen Elizabeth Hall (London), St David's Hall (Cardiff), Sana'a & Aden (Yemen), Brezice Early Music Festival (Slovenia), Istanbul, Amsterdam International Festival of Jewish Music, Chinchilla Early Music Festival; tours in Germany, Italy and Holland. Numerous radio broadcasts - the world over...
