The New Rope String Band is made up of four talented musicians playing beautiful and invigorating acoustic music from various traditions around the world.

Experienced old-hands Pete Challoner and Tim Dalling (from the Old Rope String Band) have joined forces with experienced old-time musicians Jock Tyldesley and Vera van Heeringen. Between them, they sing, dance and play their little hearts out on fiddles, guitar, piano accordion, mandolin and anything else that comes to hand.

But people just laugh at them! Audiences have been known to say, "What the hell was that?" or "It's folk music" or "It's cabaret" or even, "They are ploughing the lonely furrow of cutting-edge music hall!" Then, when they struggle to adequately describe the New Rope experience, they drag their friends along to the next gig so that they too can witness the strange spectacle.

Most people actually enjoy it. A lot. And that is why it is still going strong.

Why not see for yourself?

The show delights all the senses, except, perhaps, smell. Expect exuberant theatrics, boundless energy and gorgeous music, all executed with kindness. What could possibly go wrong.
