Foxwood Steel plays the Weekend of Wonderful Things at Yorkshire Sculpture Park

We were on the tele last night playing a snatch from Buffalo Soldier [thankfully without the sound!], and now [July 15] we are off with the full band, which really is a much more satisfying sound.




We are me, Bex, Georgia, Natalie, Sophie, Katie, Vicky, Bart, Fehmina.





We were also alternating our sets with tamboo bamboo workshops from Chris from Bamboo Tamboo fame [see his website for details on this wonderful instrument, brought by him to wonderful life in the UK, and is as light as the pans are heavy!]

Katie and Bex showing they can still cut it with the athletics


There were other acts on all round the park, and we are back where Chris and I first tried a bamboo tamboo workshop, and where Tim and I got filmed and snapped.









Three Trinidadian artforms in one place: Zak Ove's statues, steelpans and tamboo bamboo. So very appropriate, and really very satisfying. Georgia came back form the café saying me and Tim had just been on Calender, when I looked later, yes, endless Buffalo Soldier - aloud!
