Miranda Rutter & Rob Harbron

Kings Place, Hall Two, N1 9AG , [Venue Details]

Fiddle player and composer Miranda Rutter and Rob Harbron on concertina bring ‘Bird Tunes’, an exquisite new suite of folk tunes with birdsong at their core, to Kings Place as part of its birdsong-inspired Folk Weekend.

Sunday,
27 Apr 2025
@4.00pm

Miranda Rutter has crafted every tune in the project out of fragments of birdsong which she recorded on her phone during woodland walks near her home.  The suite is both a love-song to the intricacy and beauty of birdsong, and a timely reminder of the struggles with habitat loss and human-made dangers faced by migrating birds today.

In her own words: ‘This is a suite of tunes inspired by birds and their song. I’ve become so entranced by birds, I’ve found myself recording them in the woods, fields and wetlands near my home.  Excitedly bringing home these slivers of sonic magic, I ‘transcribed’ or learnt to play snippets of these birds’ songs on the fiddle, then wove these fragments of melody into folk dance tune forms – my other musical fascination.  In some of these tunes, I’ve purely pieced together birds’ phrases, in others I’ve written ‘answer’ phrases to their ‘questions’ and in others I’ve written the whole tune but been inspired by a bird in some way.
