CLARKE MEETS...

at Sands Films Music Room
'An exciting new 60 minute music show hosted by Clarke Camilleri, presenting live
traditional music from all across the globe. CLARKE MEETS... provides an
exclusive opportunity to watch remarkable guests perform live and participate in
absorbing discussions of traditional music on stage with their host.
As the late Pete Seeger reminded us, music does not respect borders and the
story of folk music is the story of migration – the songs moving back and forth
with the people, evolving on the way. Inspired in part by Seeger's classic live
music show 'Rainbow Quest', host and folk singer Clarke Camilleri invites hand-
picked guests to take the stage and perform music from a diverse range of
traditions, and to discuss their music's vital place in today's world.
In this episode (filmed before the Covid pandemic) CLARKE MEETS performers from
several traditions in North America.
We enjoy the magical harmonies of mother and daughter Sandy Newlin and Elizabeth
LaPrelle as they sing together and speak candidly to Clarke about the musical
traditions of their home, deep in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia, USA.
British harmonica player Ed Hopwood provides virtuoso interpretations of
American folk tunes across Cajun, Blues and Old Time music, and demonstrates an
array of performance techniques used to extract full value from this most
soulful of instruments.
Canadian performer Alissa Skorik plays her collection of handmade Native
American flutes and speaks powerfully about what 'tradition' means in urban, 21st
Century Canada.
A veritable feast in a time of live musical famine.
