Quartet
The Shem Fillmore Quartet explores English traditional music and takes it to new places - delving into its own musical history and inspired by Latin American and Jazz influences picked up along the way. Little-known tunes, old classics, new compositions - from foot-stomping party folk to moody ballads. Let us take you on a journey!
“Shem Fillmore is an absolute force of nature. He is a brilliantly eccentric and virtuosic musician, and his shows are at once musically tight, entertaining and enlightening."
"His band has a line-up of stellar musicians, performing tight and quirky arrangements of traditional folk tunes from the UK and beyond, adding improvisation and Latin-infused grooves to the melting pot of flying folk medleys.”
Rachel Hayter
flautist, composer and member of Alvorada
