They decided to create a workshop for young musicians from Israel and various countries of the Middle East with the aim of combining musical study and development with the sharing of knowledge and comprehension between people from cultures that traditionally have been rivals.

    Knowledge Is The Beginning is the award winning film by Paul Smaczny following The remarkable West-Eastern Divan Orchestra over a period of five years.

  • The Martin Harley Band

    14th Aug 2009

    Venue: Indoor Venue

    mhb_press_1_400"Martin Harley is a singer/songwriter whose music draws on influences from old time blues and folk to world music to make a sound that feels so familiar you think you've grown up with it."

    Martin's first visit to The Workhouse was back in spring as part of his solo tour when he wowed the audience with his easy rapport, tales of being on the road and virtuoso slide guitar skills. This time he returns with his band and we are pleased to welcome him back for a night that promises "tight harmonies and snaking rhythms on the world's smallest drum kit from Peter Swatton with double bass and balalaika bass, sometimes bowed, sometimes beaten by Graeme Ross. An obvious love of music and an almost telepathic level of communication between this unusual three-piece make for a dynamic live performance."

    Doors open 8.30pm

    Tickets £6.00

    To book tickets please call The Workhouse Box Office Tel: 01691 649062
