We’d like to tell you about our exciting new show “Waltzers and Wonders – The Wakes is in Town”.
It's a musical journey around the fairground, 90 minutes long and is a song cycle including some narration and audio visual material.
There are Derbyshire references but the material is largely very English in feel. The music and songs are performed by the Derbyshire-based RAM Company, a 9-piece band including Keith Kendrick, Sylvia Needham, Cross o’th’ Hands and BandAnglo, and ex-members of RamsBottom, Muckram Wakes, The Druids and Tiger Moth are also included in the line-up. The production is supported by John Tams and Mick Peat.
We had a great time at the Derby Traditional Music and Arts Festival in 2008 where we launched the band, the show, and the new album. We're putting together a tour for the show over the next 18 months, and looking for festival organisers or theatres that would be interested in booking it.
The full album is now available at most decent outlets or online from our website - www.ramcompany.co.uk . We hope you love as much as we do!!
