Event information
Since their 2008 debut, 4Square have been refining their prodigious collective talent as writers and performers of the very finest contemporary folk songs and tune sets. With four albums behind them and an ever-widening reputation for their live performances; the former music students are winning fans from all four corners of Europe and beyond. The powerful young quartet has already stormed festivals and venues all across the UK, Canada, Norway, Sweden, The Czech Republic, Greece, and Denmark with their fiery, inventive and virtuosic brand of alternative folk.
4Square’s trademark show features the spectacle of Nicola Lyons’s simultaneous fiddle playing and clog dancing and virtuosic mandolin from Michael Giverin, galvanised by the driving sounds of Jim Molyneux’s piano and Dan Day’s percussion. The result is an infusion of folk, jazz, latin, and any other musical style they feel the inclination to absorb. By contrast, 4Square will then stir you with their harmonious and mellow singing described by Nigel Schofield of livingtradition as “sublimely wistful.”
The strength of this foursome’s collaboration ensures that individual styles are relinquished in favour of the band’s combined voice. That collective sound is well worth celebrating, a perfect example of everything that’s appealing about contemporary folk music in England
“4Square are amazing...based on the range of music they tap into: traditional folk, clog dancing, their own compositions, and influences ranging from jazz to Cuban rhythms to Radiohead." - The Folk Show, BBC Radio 2
"Simply stunning" - John Tams
