Eleven Magpies at Roundhill Barn

Live music from Bristol based quartet plus the best British film ever made

A Bristol quartet of musicians who met doing theatre, Eleven Magpies is led by composer, multi-instrumentalist and music director Ian Ross (Wise Children, Kneehigh). The band features Alex Vann (from Spiro and Three Cane Whale), Elizabeth Westcott (Yesterday’s Camel) and James Gow (Jow). Together, they chart a whirling journey of plucked and bowed strings, through humorous miniatures and sorrowful madrigal-esque beauty, then up into unexpected flights that come to land in moments of serene stillness.

The evening will be bookended by a split screening of Powell and Pressburger’s magical black and white film I Know Where I’m Going! - a Highland tale of love, learning and a bit of leaping around.
