11 SHIBE TRAIL 1: LUTE [SOLD OUT]

One of the truly exciting things about following Sean Shibe’s career over the past decade has been to join him as he delves right back into the past to explore pre-guitar music with lute and also bring things bang up to date with electric guitar. So, over the course of today, he plays music of 5 centuries on lute, guitar and electric guitar in 3 intimate Anstruther venues; close up music. To close the day we’ve invited Nizar Rohana, a master of an instrument that predates them all – the Oud – to end this journey with music that is both contemporary and ancient. Each of Shibe’s concerts lasts around 40 minutes, allowing time between them to enjoy Anstruther, grab a bag of chips…

First off: Lute! Music written down 5 centuries ago in Scotland in the Rowallen and Straloch manuscripts, paired with French dances from Pierre Attaignant’s collection from a century earlier.
