To close a day of lute, guitar and electric guitar, we go properly ancient and modern. The Oud is the ancestor of all those other instruments: its origins are properly lost in the mists of time. We know it has been played for at least a milennium, and musicians like Oud master Nizar Rohana are the latest in an unbroken chain of musicians who have relished its delicacy, rhythm, subtlety and rich sound world over the centuries. He brings his latest work to the festival in a mesmerising solo performance.
