Captivating new folk duo Dipper Malkin are celebrating the release of their highly anticipated album ‘Tricks of the Trade’ which they will be debuting at Oxford’s Folk Club Friday October 6.
Their beginning was but a whisper, but that whisper has steadily grown to become a clamour over the last year. Dipper Malkin are rapidly earning a reputation for elevating traditional music to new heights of sturdy beauty and sophistication with the release of their first album, ‘Tricks of the Trade’. It is clear that Dipper Malkin realise that they are the lucky benefactors of previous generations’ invention, celebrating their inheritance through every note, whilst avoiding the trap of complacency by offering their own inventions. The album provides a new lease of life for the viola d’amore, an unusual instrument from the baroque period with seven bowed and seven sympathetic strings. www.oxfordfolkclub.com
