Islington Folk Club, www.islingtonfolkclub.co.uk/ifc.html.
Country: Czech Republic (British resident) & Britain. Style: Traditional Polish/Czech border.
Lineup: Hanka (v/gajdy), Tad Rytwinski (fiddle).
If anyone can tell me Hanka's second name, I would be most grateful.
Both these musicians play the Gajdy bagpipe. Similar instruments are found across central Europe (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany), called the Dudy. Pukl or Bock. Hanka is from Jablunkov, a town which has moved between Poland and what is today the Czech Republic. Tad (Tadeusz) Rytwinski also makes fiddles and other instruments. I took photos of him giving a talk about violin making at the London Fiddle Conference in 2011, see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157626271110652/.
