The
Chordwainers are a leather band. We play fantastic instruments made
by world-reknowned leather sculptor, Garry Greenwood. Some are like
saxophones, some like didjeridus, some like bugles, bassoons, flutes,
harps or drums. Some are very different. As a band, we work to find
their voices and get them to converse and sing together. We draw from
many musical cultures in our quest to bring these remarkable pieces
to life. Tango, jigs, blues, salsa, marches, African, Celtic, and Macedonian
music influence us. Our music is playful, haunting, beautiful, confronting
and positive. |
