Kate Luxmoore

The Somerset Songbook Revisited gives voice to clarinetist Kate Luxmoore’s unique take on the Folk tunes of Somerset. Music with a sense of Englishness at its heart, but with a shared world vision.

Collected in the 1900’s by Rev Charles Marson and Cecil Sharp the songs are full of rich heritage and give an insight into a lost world of rural, communal England.

The re-interpretation is a chance for Luxmoore to bring these songs and their messages into the 21st Century to resonate with the England that has been created today and this is reflected by her International line up of musicians representing Africa, India and the Carribean.
