About the show

Axe Vale Arts is delighted to welcome The CiderHouse Rebellion. Dubbed as the ingenious masters of folk-improv, they have gained enviable reputation as a thrilling live act. Join us for a compelling evening of really fabulous music. Two gigs in one, every performance is a spontaneous act of composition, music created entirely in the moment, never to be repeated: a first set of powerhouse, fast moving folk, followed by a second set of gypsy ​jazz, with the band ​transforming into their ​alter ​egos, the Vagabonds.

"Two virtuoso musicians playing some of the most startling and original music you will ever encounter. Compelling, exciting and utterly original” Phil Beer, multi-instrumentalist and composer
