Damian Clarke
Pressgang's founder brings his rivetting solo set to BunkFest. He is a singer/songwriter with a difference. Damian is part storyteller, part traditional folk singer and part hurdy-gurdy (Drehleier) and dulcimer player. He also sings his own songs that are passionate and challenging, at the same time he likes his audience to have fun, to dance to his instrumental tunes, to realize the power of some of the oldest music. He believes in sharing traditions and cultures, showing how these appear in the roots of all European countries and beyond. He supports those who protect their local language and culture against the oppression of globalised language and mainstream culture, as part of an international exchange with respect for other cultures. Increasingly his new material is sung in regional languages and Old English. (Saturday Street Fair)
