New folk music inspired by the romantic poet
The Telegraph - 19 May 2015
Samuel Taylor Coleridge is considered one of England's finest poets and most of us will recognise the lines: "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan . . ."
Now the poet is to get a musical tribute from one of Britain's top folk musicians. Somerset-based Ange Hardy (who was nominated at the 2015 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for her excellent album The Lament of the Black Sheep) has been awarded public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England to write and present an evening of music inspired by the life and work of the romantic poet.
Hardy will present it at 14 rural locations along the route of The Coleridge Way in October 2015, with Lukas Drinkwater providing backing vocals and playing double bass and guitar.
