HOME ACOUSTIC FESTIVAL AT DARTINGTON
The mystery and tradition of the East will meet the best of the West Country this summer when a vibrant line-up of global musicians gather at Dartington Hall, nr Totnes for the third HOME festival (June 22-23, 2012).
Following a sell-out inaugural year in 2010, as a one day event, and an even bigger two-day festival last year headlined by U.S star Suzanne Vega, HOME – with its “unplugged” reputation – returns this year with a packed programme celebrating a dazzling range of cultures, languages and sounds, starting with a special curtain raiser on the Friday evening and running all day Saturday.
Tibet’s exiled Tashi Lhunpo Monks will bring a flavour of their own sacred world from more than 4,000 miles away when they headline on Friday 22 June. Offering a rare opportunity to witness a unique and endangered culture, with a dramatic presentation of music and dances, punctuated with mantras, bells, cymbals, drums and booming long horns.
On the Saturday, Devon’s own homegrown “folk legends” Show of Hands headliner. The phenomenally popular Exeter duo have become one of the most successful ever acoustic acts on the British folk roots scene.
