3rd August 2016 at Ham Marquee, Sidmouth (supporting Lady Maidery).

Sidmouth Folk Week.

Country: Britain. Style: Traditional Irish & Contemporay Folk.

Lineup: Ciaran Algar (fiddle/g), Toby Shaer (g/fiddle/low whistle).

Ciaran Algar is more usually encountered as part of a duo with Greg Russell. For photos of them see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157649373625054/. Toby Shaer has performed with them often in the past, and was in the John McCuker Band earlier at this festival (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/albums/72157671478443722/). The background of both Algar and Shaer is in Irish Traditional Music, which was strongly reflected in the former's recent solo album "the Last Waltz" (with Shaer and others). A larger Ciaran Algar Band played some other festivals this summer to promote the album.
