About This Show
The Peoples String Foundation takes you by surprise because you very quickly realise they are highly skilled musicians who combine virtuosity with a passion for performance! As Ralph McTell said “the vocal performances are remarkable and beautifully performed”
The People’s String Foundation mix passionate theatrics with an Urban Gypsy sound. Led by Ben Sutcliffe (Composer and Musical Director for Kneehigh Theatre and The Minack Theatre) whose virtuoso violin styles have landed him to play with the likes of Ralph McTell, The Levellers, Carleen Anderson and The Stranglers. Mixing artisan flavours with world grooves the People’s String Foundation encompass a grass roots philosophy, working with the community to promote local music and arts as well as touring the Festival and Theatre circuits.
