Featured Artist - Twegen

Twegen ( Pronounced Twey-en); Old English for Two.

Musicians: Brad McEwen (citterns and vocals) and Gwen Potter (violin and viola d’amore).

Brad McEwen is also the founder and Artistic Director of the Mill Race Folk Society.

‘Twegen’s repertoire consists of mainly traditional English dance tunes and songs, but other things have been known to creep in from Ireland, France, Brittany, Belgium and even Canada!

The combination of cittern and violin or viola d’amore results in a lively and fresh sound to many traditional folk music settings. Brad’s wealth of historical knowledge brings the listener a delightful insight into the background of many of the ballads and songs Twegen play.

Don't miss Twegen perform on our Literary Stage in the early afternoon.
