We had a fantastic time at the Mercian Gathering playing for dancing for the delighted audience. We took our 1K rig and Rich Duffy-Howard’s photographs tell the story of what happened next visually. The set was a wild fusion of Arabic, Andalusian, Celtic, Medieval music and contemporary beats designed to get bodies dancing – part ritual, part trance, part shamanic journey featuring Hurdy-Gurdy, Hammered Dulcimer, Vocals, Cittern, Drum kit and Bass Guitar.

We had an awesome time at Beulah Festival
The word Beulah (pronounced BYOO-lah) is of Hebrew origin and means ‘to join’. In William Blake’s mythology it is ‘the realm of the subconscious, the source of poetic inspiration and of dreams.’
Beulah Gatherings are drug and alcohol free seasonal celebrations, bringinglike-minded people together. Celebrating without drugs and alcohol allows more authentic connections to be made between people, which helps create good vibes. Partying in a conscious way is about getting out of your head in a different way. It’s about moving in to the full vividness and beauty of now.
BEULAH FESTIVAL is a family friendly celebration with a deep-rooted sense of community. We are in our third year and would love to welcome you to the beautiful Lime Tree Farm near Ripon.
