About Uiscedwr

All about Uiscedwr

Phenomenal folk trio Uiscedwr is one of Britain’s most exciting contemporary bands. Featuring founder members Anna Esslemont on fiddle and vocals and Cormac Byrne on bodhran and percussion (of Seth Lakeman band fame), the result is the most thrilling modern folk music you’re ever likely to hear. Underpinned by driving guitar, this folk trio promises a night you won’t forget. With awards from the BBC and the PRS Foundation and two highly acclaimed albums under their belt, Uiscedwr’s music is fatter, funkier and folkier than ever before. The eclectic repertoire draws on traditions form all over the British Isles tempered by influences as diverse as jazz, Latin, blues and klezmer.

Spend an evening with Uiscedwr and travel with them round the world.

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Nov 5 2009 6:06 PM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements. The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage. Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens. Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry. And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..? (C) David Franks 2003

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Aug 23 2009 5:17 PM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans. I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind. I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.” Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen. (C) David Franks 2003
