Folk Festivals

Spinndrift have performed at festivals across the U.K., last year playing a 45 minute set to 600 people as support to Faustus on the main stage at Sidmouth Folk Week.  Spinndrift concerts consist of a variety of traditional songs, tunes and self-penned material.  Spinndrift like audiences that sing along and encourage active audience participation.  If there is space, and depending on the venue-size they also perform single-jig morris dances.

Spinndrift are also a Ceilidh band and are happy to run ceilidhs at festivals.

The members of Spinndrift all hold enhanced CRB disclosure and can offer workshops or tuition in: melodeon, fiddle, oboe, flute, whistle, cello, voice, storytelling, morris dance, molly dance, broom dance, ceilidh dancing, ensemble and group work and choir/group and harmony singing.  Spinndrift are happy to run workshops for children or adults for people of all abilities.

Spinndrift also do children's shows: a shadow play to music which they are happy to perform at festivals.  They have all the equipment to perform the show, all that is required is a plug socket, a dark room and a PA depending on the size of the room.

Spinndrift are currently working on a new children's show based around musical sound effects and theatre devices which involves even more audience participation.  There are also a set of workshops that can be run alongside this show, in preparation for it.

Three members of Spinndrift also perform a 20 minute story which is suitable for children and adults.
