  ACCESSION NIGHT FEATURING TERRA FOLK   
  MONDAY MAY 3
THE JOHN HEWITT 8.00PM


To mark Accession Day on May 1 when 10 new countries join the EU, the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival is delighted to host a celebration of the cultures of our new partners.

Described as a world music sensation, Slovenia’s most explosive export, Terra Folk, are a fearsome foursome of musical magicians who can whip an audience into a frenzy within minutes and have them kicking off their footwear in festive abandon.

Each member of Terra Folk brings a different musical background to the mix, including, folk, jazz, classical and alt. Rock. Together they play a ridiculously eclectic mix of musical styles, including Gypsy, Russian, Slovenian, Irish, Mexican, Jewish and Klezmer.

A typical medley would take in Bach, Led Zeppelin and a Donegal reel and whatever you’re having yourself, all underscored with a bawdy sense of humour.This promises to be a fantastic night, all served up with food from the incoming EU countries. Prepare to be mesmerised and don’t forget to bring an extra pair of socks.

Supported by the Office of First Minister and Deputy First Minister
