Red Kite Rising

It was a busy weekend for Red Kite Rising, a new band I'm involved with on the mandolin. On Saturday night we played live on Marlowfm radio. We played two twenty minute sets on their World Folk Music programme. This was after I'd played a lunchtime set at Chippenham Folk Festival with the Oxford Fiddle Group.
On Sunday afternoon, Red Kite Rising played a set at Buckingham's 'Music in the Market.'

Andy -bass, Matt - guitar, Karl-drums, Me-mandolin, Lorna-fiddle
The repertoire is all our own material, wriiten mostly by Matt with some by Andy


It was a fine afternoon, cloudy but warm and there was a good crowd to enjoy the music which lasted from lunchtime into the early evening.
