Rich compelling melodies and tight driving rhythm, Flatworld play an eclectic mix of music from Eastern Europe and beyond.
We take tunes from eastern European folk traditions (and a few from elsewhere) and present them in a lively and accessible form; audiences are usually dancing by the end of our show.
The line-up is:- Eric Aston — djembe, percussion
- Georgina Clarke — violin
- Tim Cranmore — saxophone, recorder
- Vo Fletcher — bass
- Neil Poulter — guitar, laúd, mandolin, vocal
- Kimberly Turnbull — violin
