The Forge, Basingstoke
&nbsp;
Mikey Kenney&nbsp;is a respected fiddle player, singer, songwriter and composer from Liverpool, but he is also a multi-instrumentalist, often performing many of the parts on his recordings - including banjo, mandolin, guitar, melodeon and more.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
You can catch him in The Forge at Anvil Arts on Sunday 1 February at 7.45pm.
&nbsp;
Embracing duality, Kenney is hailed by many as an important conduit of learning, conserving and handing down both English and Irish traditional fiddle music and yet he is constantly composing alternative music of his own with his last two releases&nbsp;Counsel of Owls&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Reverie Road&nbsp;receiving widespread acclaim.
&nbsp;
Through direct experience, Kenney allows other musical forms such as psychedelia, bluegrass, jazz and Italian tarantella to seep into his music but never so far as to allow any one influence to dominate his deep love for traditional fiddle playing. The result of crossing these stones is&nbsp;Tiny Little Light.
&nbsp;
He will be celebrating this new material by performing it live accompanied by various ensembles including&nbsp;Michael Paul Metcalfe&nbsp;(drums),&nbsp;Awen Blandford&nbsp;(cello) and&nbsp;Andy Raven&nbsp;(guitar).
