Europe

Quentin Budworth Solo (UK)

Quentin Budworth a Hurdy-gurdy player and composer on a quest. For the last years he's travelled across Europe learning from master Hurdy-Gurdy players from several different traditions. Supported by an Arts Council Develop Your Creative Practice Grant his travels have taken him to France, Spain, Crete, Germany and Holland.

In this unique event Quentin will share tunes, stories and insights about what he has learned on his musical odyssey. Featuring music from across Europe and newly composed tunes Quentin will give a rare insight into the world of an itinerant Hurdy-Gurdy Man and composer.

"What a wonderful evening spent in the company of the lovely Quentin Budworth and his Hurdy Gurdies as well as lots of good friends in the audience. Quentin treated us to lots of tunes from around Europe, each accompanied with its own anecdote of his many travels." - Gordon Meredith, promoter

"A 90-minute journey through the differing hurdy gurdy techniques used to play this unusual instrument around the World. A confident raconteur, and a man who knows his Hurdy Gurdy, we were treated to French, German, and Scandinavian compositions as Quentin swapped from one Hurdy Gurdy to another. Our room was filled with sounds like we've never heard before, and the audience were captivated, if a pin had dropped it would have disturbed us ...a mesmerising show, it would make a great Festival workshop, but for anyone who wants an introduction to this amazing instrument, Quentin's night is a must." - Mark Kelly, Promoter

We also represent Quentin in two of his other guises in Celtarabia and Agent Starling.
