On March 18th 2011, the eight artists gather together in Shropshire for a 7 day residential, with an artistic brief to create new works that have a 'resonance and relevance' to Cecil Sharp, and in particular his Appalachian travels and song collecting between 1915-1918. The residential will be immediately followed by 3 concerts (one in Shrewsbury, and two in London), these performances will be professionally recorded, and subsequently mixed and produced for a CD release in the summer. The artists reconvene for a final performance at Shrewsbury Folk Festival in August 2011.
