Muco is a singer, songwriter and composer of British-Burundian heritage whose music is inspired by a love of language, storytelling & history. Through his reimaginings of medieval folk songs in Middle and Old English, Muco has cultivated a passionate audience online with his unique interpretations. In these performances, he uses his voice and the inanga, a Burundian zither, and has been studying long, epic Burundian ballads known as whisper songs that his great-grandfather sang and accompanied on his inanga.
His work not only revives these ancient pieces for modern audiences but also expands ideas of historical musical performance. For Muco, the global idea of balladry ties to his Burundian roots and to medieval music. He seeks not to recreate but to make the voices of the past understood, appropriate to a new time.
His projects, ‘Soþlice’ and ‘Summer Crossing’, combine lyrics and influences from Old, Middle, and Modern English, as well as French, Swahili, and Kirundi, reflecting his deep interest in the interconnection of folk traditions across cultures.
Recent performances include main support for Liana Flores across UK + Europe, Medicine Festival, Broadstairs Folkweek, Black Shuck Festival, Deer Shed Festival, Campfire Club, Rest is History Fest, SXSW London, neoAncients, London Kings Place (headline for SONGLINES), 4 Ecluses (Dunkirk).

Rosslyn Court
Expect a small, seated, friendly, quirky, listening venue with a heart – we have a tiny bar selling beer, wine, cider, gin! and hot and cold drinks -nibbly stuff and always a cake. The venue is accessible, on one level. You will be seated at tables or in rows, according to numbers in the audience. If you need to use your phone for texting or lyrics, please turn the brightness of your phone down and consider sitting near the back to minimise the impact.
Arrive at 7pm to get a seat, a drink and a chat before the concert.
The first hour of concerts is livestreamed on YouTube. You can watch it any time after 7.30 on the night of the concert via the Rosslyn Court Website. There is an exclusive second set for the audience in the room, including a Q&A with the performers. We ask you to make a donation, please, when you watch the livestream to help us to continue this service.
There is a Rosslyn Court raffle. £1 a ticket. You may win a CD …or a “Who Gives A Crap” emergency toilet roll! WGAC donate half their profits to water charities and are plastic free. People who donate during the concert are entered into the raffle.
There is usually a floor singer and often a 2-minute community slot informing us of what happens locally. The second half starts with a Q&A and is not livestreamed. If you think of something you want to know more about in the first half, just ask! Sometimes there is another floor song.
The concerts usually finish well before 10. Except for Tim Edey because he is unstoppable. (We also run a B&B here hahaha)
If you want to view the livestream after midnight of the concert date then go to the livestream option on the website where all the old livestreams live.
Tickets are kept as affordable as we can and there are always a few cheaper and others more expensive to help us subsidise the concessionary seats.. Sometimes tickets are a little more expensive to reflect the status of the performer.
This year we are trialling an early bird ticket price to encourage people to book at least a month in advance.
