I found the link to this on the news page, and as they are playing up the road in huddersfield on 20th July and going to check it out.

Not sure that their material is up my street but should be a real spectacle! Maybe see some other folk down there?

Mmm.... madeira

Well, I went to this madeira mandolin orchestra gig last night and really enjoyed it..
The location was a little out of the ordinary for me (in a church, not a bar!) and the music was different from what I would usually see (mostly neopolitan) but it was fantastic to see so many people playing mandolin family instruments together. There were some great pickers in there too...
