Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn

,Barbican Hall

Two great banjo players perform their mix of traditional Americana and original bluegrass compositions.

It's the first chance to hear them perform their latest record Echo in the Valley here, and the first time the duo have performed in London in over four years.

Bela Fleck is one of the world’s great instrumentalists – a master of the banjo, the leader of The Flecktones and an extraordinary collaborator with the likes of Chick Corea and Toumani Diabate. His Grammy-winning partnership with singer and instrumentalist Abigail Washburn creates a sonic landscape from their unlikely instrumentation, in an evening of captivating warmth and playfulness.
