Musicians performed a 45-minute set include Michael Ormiston, one of Europe’s leading exponents of Mongolian overtone – or throat - singing. Michael also played Tibetan singing bowls, a Mongolian horsehead fiddle and a wide range of other instruments from the Far East.
Joining him in the show was Steve Wishart, a composer who specialises in creating performances on the hurdy gurdy.
The concluding part of the staged show was a performance by the duo of Sylvia Hallett and Mike Adcock. They performed on violin, accordion and percussion plus more uncommon instruments, including a slate xylophone and amplified bicycle wheel.
