Italiaanse band Folk Rose wil in Nederland spelen
Marieke Smegen, die voor ons geregeld een column schrijft over haar ervaringen met sessies in Schotland stuurt het volgende mailtje.
Hallo allemaal,
Onderstaande mail kreeg ik van een folkband uit Italie (vraag me niet waarom). Ik kan ze niet helpen,
mogelijk is er onder jullie iemand die een optreden kan aanbieden? Je weet maar nooit.
Groeten Marieke.
My name is Paolo Capasso, of the band "Folk Rose", based on Italian traditional music with a blend of Celtic
music. Folk Rose has just come back to Italy after a successful participation at the last edition of
Shetland Folk Festival 2002.
Last year Folk Rose toured successfully through Ireland, France, Spain and Germany.
Folk Rose is going to visit Holland for a a music tour in the next months: to this regard I ask you if you can include my band us for a gig in your venue, in a date that you are not already booked.
To this purpose I am at your disposal for sending you a promo kit with our Cd, a more detailed information and photos. In the meanwhile, you can visit out website: http://www.folkrose.it.
Thanking you in advance for your interest and looking forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes, Paolo Capasso
The band
Folk Rose operates since 1990 in the area of ethnic and world music; the musicians come from various experiences (classical, contemporary, jazz and traditional music). Their celebrity is the result of hundreds of concerts and festivals throughout Italy and Europe.
Folk Rose has created a very original style of European traditional music, mixing the Italian rhythms,
traditions and tunes together with Celtic and North European sonorities.
Folk Rose was broadcasted by the Italian RAI, Radio France, The National Lithuanian TV.
The band recorded a CD, "Folk Road", which was appreciated very much by the critics, and, recently,
"Folk Rose in concerto" and "Songs and Dances of Italy". Folk Rose participated at several festivals in Italy and Europe, as "Les Cultures du Monde" at Gannat, (France), "Baltica '99" (Lithuania), the "Festival Celtique"
of Aosta (Italy), Bordeaux (France), "Italian Nights" in Weimar and Paide Shanty Festival in Estonia,
Sa Nostra in Palma de Mallorca (Spagna), Spraoi Festival in Waterford (Ireland) and the Festival of Confolens (France)…..
