An evening of unique musical entertainment is on offer when Wild Willy Barrett’s French Connection comes to Falmouth next month.
The group, whose approach to music comes in the form of innovative arrangements overlaid with a large dose of wry humour, will be at The Poly with their variety of instruments, including the guitar, cello, fiddle, banjo and uilleann pipes.
The ensemble consists of multi-instrumentalist, Wild Willy Barrett, cellist, Mary Holland and Irish pipes and whistle player, John Devine, who was recently invited to play in the presence of The Queen at Buckingham Palace.
The group have just finished recording their latest album, Avant-Garde Mange Tout, with French singer, Aurora Colson, who is known for her heart-rending performances of French Chansons and her wide jazz repertoire.
Aurora was given the chance to spread her musical wings with the group in the variety of styles featured on the album, ranging from bluegrass to acoustic blues, with haunting Irish melodies and a touch of Édith Piaf's signature style thrown into the mix.
Wild Willy Barrett’s French Connection will be at The Poly to entertain with their unique musical style on Saturday, June 4 at 7.30pm.
