DUSTBIRDS

CASTLE STAGE - SATURDAY 29 AUGUST @ 5pm

Dustbirds are fiddle player Kerry Robinson and guitarist Nick Robertson. Originally from Northumberland and London respectively they relocated to the  Shropshire Hills and have been playing in and around the beautiful market town of Ludlow for several years both as a duo and a four piece.

This year has seen them performing their debut album at Clun Green Man festival, Ludlow Assembly Rooms and the Ludlow Brewery.

Dustbirds contemporize the alt. folk sound with fiddle, shruti and acoustic guitar. With lyrics formed from their wanderings, they create songs that blend their voices to both playful and plaintive effect with themes ranging from Arthurian legend to tales of ghostly happenings at the Stiperstones.

They will be joined by percussionist Jonathan Gilpin and double bassist James Preece.
