Res Publica Duo Tour

at Liskerrett

The People's String Foundation are an army of bohemians and vagabonds hailing from the

grass roots of British music culture; Mixing world, Classical and urban styles in anarchic

embroilment.

This Cornish band is fronted by the virtuoso violinist

Ben Sutcliffe (Director Of Music for Rogue Theatre,

Kneehigh Theatre and the Minack Theatre) with co-

founder and composer Zaid Al-Rikabi at the core. This

Autumn Ben and Zaid are packing their 32 piece Gypsy

Orchestra into a suitcase and taking the “Virtual

Orchestra” on tour as a live duo, with their newest

album release “Res Publica”. And they are coming

here to Liskerrett. This music is sure to set your heart

racing, get your toes tapping, and warm the soul with

the people’s spirit and grafter’s hearts.

“The People's String Foundation is one of the great wonders

of the West - Stonking, earthy, organic, delicate, and

barn-storming. The upcoming Res Publica tour by The People's String Foundation is an impassioned and bold

project to bring a larger-than-life production to intimate or

remote venues. This work, of such big heartedness and

brilliance, is desperately needed!” - Charles Hazlewood -

conductor and composer

“The vocal performances are remarkable and the

orchestrations are inventive, exploratory and beautifully

performed. The entire piece is fresh and youthfully

enthusiastic with clear production values on a classical scale.

Surely these musicians and this piece are worthy of

consideration for this year's Mercury prize." - Ralph McTell
