Traditional folk arrangements meet contemporary sounds this autumn when Rachael McShane and The Cartographers perform at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts.
The group are currently touring to celebrate their new album, Uncharted. This follows their debut release, When All Is Still, which arrived in 2018.
McShane, an established singer, cellist, fiddle, and viola player, first came to prominence as an original member of folk big band Bellowhead. During her time with the group, she toured extensively, made multiple television appearances, and collected eight BBC Folk Awards.
Her solo career includes the 2009 debut album No Man’s Fool, released through Navigator Records, which later led to a deal with Topic Records, the world’s oldest independent record label.
Joining McShane in The Cartographers are guitarist Ian Stephenson, known for his work with Kan and Baltic Crossing, and melodeon player Julian Sutton, who has performed alongside Kathryn Tickell and Sting.
Together, the trio combine close vocal harmony and innovative instrumental arrangements.
The Maidenhead date gives audiences the chance to hear material from the new release alongside their established repertoire.
