Richard Ingham and the Strangeness & Charm Ensemble
Inspired by the extraordinary 10th-century Aberdeenshire pocket gospel book, Richard Ingham leads Strangeness & Charm in a concert of plainsong, reels and electronic soundscapes: a sonic rollercoaster, with bells. The 12-part suite, commissioned by the Book of Deer Project, creates musical images of the book itself, the early monastery in Deer, and the local working community. Movements include The Light of Columba, Cathal’s Banquet, St Drostan at Deer, This Splendid Little Book, Dancing in the Margin and Still Shining.
