Greenhouse Gig: This is How we Fly

Cult London folk club The Nest Collective bring their new unplugged and intimate concert series to our Conservatory with a headline performance from This is How we Fly.

This is How we Fly are a quartet that defy categorisation. They describe themselves as a contemporary folk group but you can hear influences from jazz, Irish traditional, Swedish folk and ambient electronica in their sound. Made up of a fiddle player, a clarinettist, a drummer and, most intriguingly, a percussive dancer, they mesh impeccable musicianship with a flair for showmanship.

Opening the evening is Gyil (Ghanaian xylophone) player Bex Burch, who creates intricate and rhythmic music by taking the instruments deep buzzing sound into new territory.

Founded by Sam Lee, The Nest Collective bring emerging and established artists from the worlds of folk, world and traditional music to London. With their new series Greenhouse Gigs they are bringing the spirit of Campfire Club indoors, presenting shows in sheltered green spaces.
