Beyond The Marches / Dros y Ffin will begin as an artistic residential collaboration, digging into the countries’ national archives to unearth traditional songs and tunes that have transcended the border. The unique material produced will then be developed into a new show, woven together from the participants varied styles, and performed at three high profile concerts reflecting cultural and musical differences:

Aberystwyth Arts Centre  - 2 May

Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff - 3 May

Cecil Sharp House, the home of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, London -  4 May

Beyond The Marches / Dros y Ffin is a joint commission by trac Cymru and the English Folk Dance and Song Society. It is supported by the PRS for Music Foundation Beyond Borders programme.
