The Ciderhouse Rebellion are delighted to be opening the festival!

Master accordionist Murray Grainger and fiddle player Adam Summerhayes play some traditional tunes, particularly from the NE of England, and compose their own music, specialising in creating within the moment so each performance is uniquely magical and exciting in its improvisatory focus.

‘Two virtuoso musicians playing some of the most startling and original music you will ever encounter.

Compelling, exciting and utterly original’ Phil Beer ‘Grainger’s accordion with Summerhayes’s fiddle is especially beautiful.’

Songlines Adam Summerhayes has been described as a ‘Paganini of the traditional violin.’ fRoots
