"An extravaganza of Music and Light"
Let the ladies and gentlemen of the future folk ensemble The Modern Exposition transport you on this mid-summer evening with old-fashioned futuristic music and sound.
With special guests Nick Pynn and mesmerising imagery created by Mike Stoakes and V.1_Powerpoint.
This is the one event of the era that only a nincompoop, tomfool or mooncalf would let go unattended. Dress to drink, dance and make merry.

The Modern Exposition
After recording two ground breaking studio albums The Modern Exposition has begun a series of live performances demonstrating a brand new mix of folk, classical and electronic music.
Based around a catalogue of completely original folk tunes the sound of the Exposition has developed around traditional instruments like the mandolin, melodeon and hurdy gurdy, merged with classical strings and cutting edge electronica.
We like to sing and chant in the artificial language, 'Esperanto'. This is purely the result of an unlikely accident that instantly worked.
The result of this project: A unique and cinematic sound that belongs to no genre but is accessible to anyone with a love of music.
Simultaneously ancient and futuristic. cio estas mirinda
'Unique in its gentle power to draw out fond memories from the jaded mind and leave one thoroughly satisfied with one's lot - a rare quality indeed. ' Abi Rhodes
