Trad on the clarinet = The Tradinettes! 

Performing a full set of traditional music exclusively on the clarinet, The Tradinettes are a unique addition to the UK folk scene. Bass clarinets mesh with Bb clarinets in a wash of sonorous harmonies for traditional and new tunes. Improvisations dance around the melody, showcasing the musicality of these four exceptional players. Their repertoire reflects diverse folk specialisms ranging from Swedish slängpolskas, Irish trad, English folk, Québecois reels, klezmer and Welsh folk; celebrating the clarinet in a way never-heard before!

Friday 16th May, 2025m times: TBC

Venue: TBC

This trio concert will be one of innovation and differences: they will be performing their own arrangements of well-loved works, including soprano clarinet works for bass clarinet (at pitch!), as well as the likes of Rhapsody in Blue, and Messager’s Solo de Concours. These works will be mixed in with storytelling, humour, and improvisation, all to raise the profile of the life of disabled professional musicians all while providing accessible entertainment for the evening!

Doors will be at 6pm, with the performance starting at 6.30pm. Saturday 31st May, 2025
