£15pp.The Norfolk Broads, a four-piece female ensemble, are coming to Winchester Cathedral to perform their festival-favourite folk songs under the Whales installation.
The Norfolk Broads are Anna Cornish, Eleanor Dale, Helen Cherry, and Daisy Johnson, a four-piece female ensemble who enjoy singing low-pitched folk songs about love, despair, and dastardly boyfriends.
They bonded over maritime work songs and failed romances in the alto section of the Trad Academy Sea Shanty Choir, deciding to form a girl-group during a long car ride to Cornwall in 2014. Since then they have performed their spirited harmonies at festivals and venues in London and further afield, and released two albums – In the Valley of the Flowers (2017) and Yonder Green Grove (2021).
The Broads supply their repertoire of traditional stories with a very contemporary verve and energy, using old songs to fuel new takes on the lives of women both past and present.
Refreshments will be available to purchase on the night.
All under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
