String Fellows

The world of plucked and struck strings

String Fellows (Jon Banks and Jack Davies) are a duo dedicated to the delights of the intimate world of plucked and struck strings. Their concerts combine familiar instruments like the classical guitar and mandolin with the dulcimer, lute, medieval gittern and Gothic harp. A String Fellows programme spans a full six centuries of music history, showcasing some of the jewels of the exquisite medieval and renaissance repertory alongside more modern classical and folk styles from around the world.

Unfamiliar instruments are introduced informally from the stage, as are a number of intriguing musical curiosities and hidden meanings encountered along the way. The result is an original and entertaining blend of the old and the new, familiar and exotic into a feast of music played on beautiful and fascinating instruments.
