Rheingans Sisters 11 April 2024

A new venue for us - the Arts Chapel in Abergavenny - handy and a nice place to see a gig. We had caught the Rheingans once before and they were interesting and good enough that we were pleased to get another chance. It transpired they had actually recorded two albums in Aber in local muso Dylan Fowler's studio. Both Rowan and Anna play a lot of fiddle and in an unusual hypnotic way - definitely folky and with nordic and french influences, it is a captivating sound. They also play various other instruments including full size banjo (Rowan) and tiny banjo (Anna), guitar and a french stringed instrument played with a stick. They also sing. All in all a gig that stays with you.
