Blackdowns Early Music Projects – The Mouthpiece of the Gods

John Kenny returns to Culmstock this year with his one man show, called The Mouthpiece of the Gods, a highly dramatic story in which he explores the long history of lip reed instruments: shells, animal horns, bronze horns, straying into the realms of zoomorphism, cultural diasporas, and eventual reassimilation. This might sound a bit like hard work, but it will be extremely entertaining! John is a consummate performer and player of all things windy, bot to be missed!
There will be many examples of blown instruments of all shapes and sizes, designed to sound down the ages for a wide range of purposes… and a chance to meet the mighty Carnyx!
This programme was originally to be performed in July, but was unavoidably postponed
