Blackthorn's music is led by strong flute, whistle and fiddle melodies, backed by guitar and bouzouki rhythms, and contrasted with the sounds of concertina. The band's albums include 'Far From Home' (2003) and 'The River That Runs Below'(2008).

I really enjoyed the night, the poetry was so wide ranging - a lovely gathering of local talent.
