Lunatraktors / Statement of Asylum
Thu 03-10-24 - Doors at 7:00 pm
Fruitworks Coworking
1-2 Jewry Ln, Canterbury CT1 2NP
Award-winning ‘broken folk’ experimentalists, the Lunatraktors strip Anglo-Celtic traditional songs to their bare bones of vocal harmony and percussive dance, expanding them into weird, playful spaces with eclectic acoustic beats, accordion, whistles and deep drones. Ancient and contemporary, mournful and joyously deranged, Lunatraktors are ‘simply different’ (RTÉ Lyric FM). MOJO Top Ten Folk Albums 2019 & 2021
As part of this evening’s show, we present Kat Lewis’, Statement of Asylum: Remix. Originally projected onto the side of the Turner Contemporary in Margate, this is a projected collective poem made from anonymous words spoken by asylum seekers. Preview.
