Inspired by the folk traditions of the UK, this is music and song cut through with experimentation, boldness, humour and risk.  Expect ethereal to turn gutsy, passion and tears to be tempered by a good laugh and a tide of improvisation which means no two evenings are ever the same. 

"Paul Hutchinson’s utterly reliable and infinitely thoughtful accordion accompaniments, combined with Hannah Cumming’s most wonderful ‘folky’ voice and the delivery of the percussive drive one yearns to hear from a fiddle player were a joy. But with the addition of Karen Wimhurts’s divine clarinet/bass clarinet improvised bass lines, one felt all of a sudden that this might be as good as small scale modern English Folk Music performance ever gets...."

"My oh my, were these guys good. Somerset rural soul flowed in a playful and inclusive way. Carrying on the folk tradition with guts, love and oodles of talent and togetherness."
Millhouse Arts Centre and Café.

"…thank YOU, all of you. It was a brilliant evening"
Whitchurch Folk Club

"Thanks for last night, the tunes and singing were amazing. Judging by the buzz in the hall I think a good time was had by all. Loads of people said how much they enjoyed Pagoda Project"

Chaffcombe Village Hall

 

"It was just the best evening, and the loveliest music. We’ll always have you back"
Ruskin Mill

"We had such a blast with the Pagoda Project. Paul, Karen and Hannah are such a great combination of musical styles that just works!  The evening flowed effortlessly through many moods, always tempered with perfect musicality - the audience loved them! Book them - you will be glad you did."

Mary Tolhurst, Music In New Radnor

"Exquisite music introduced with humour – what better way to pass an evening? …..I highly recommend anyone to see them"
