As a former church, Humph Hall will be an ideal acoustic venue for the magic that is the virtuosic instrumental trio, The String Contingent.

These extremely talented young musicians compose and perform music of sparkling beauty and originality that explores the full spectrum of musical expression.

Australians Chris Stone (violin) and Holly Downes (double bass) with Scotsman Graham McLeod (guitar) draw from genres including celtic, classical, jazz and bluegrass.

“Beautiful playing, great musicianship, wonderful ideas. The String Contingent are going places, and quickly!” (Chris Duncan, ARIA award winning Scots fiddler.)

“Absolutely fantastic, the originality & beauty of your music cannot be underestimated. The quality of your playing is outstanding . . a truly enlivening, exciting experience.” (Nicola Black, Acoustic Village Programmer, Wickerman Festival UK)

“ . . . Extremely sophisticated instrumental music . . . the level of skill of this group is stunning as are the beauty and joy of their compositions.” (Steve Gadd, Artistic Director, Cygnet Folk Festival, Australia.)
