Folk Bands and Artists
The Fair Rain
Birmingham
Provocative songs, intelligently weaving together shimmering strings and soaring brass crescendos, bright grooves and floating fiddle melodies. LJoin us for the London launch of the band’s fourth studio album Behind the Glass which marks an important chapter in the band’s history, as they take the bold step of changing their name from The Fair Rain and bid farewell to The Old Dance School.
The band have come a long way since their early beginnings playing traditional music at ceilidhs and sessions. Throughout seven years of touring three studio albums, the band has absorbed a rich palette of influences and evolved far beyond their roots in traditional folk music.
Behind the Glass features one the band’s darkest tales yet. Mannequin – the story of Franz Reichelt, the French tailor who tested his flying suit invention on himself in 1912, from the Eiffel Tower.
