Music

Floyds Row explores early, folk, and classical idioms. Fusing different styles, Floyds Row often pulls from the early British repertoire: works by Tobias Hume (c.1579-1645), Henry Purcell (1659-1695), Solomon Eckles (1618-1683), Thomas Campion (1567-1620), John Cooper / Coprario (c.1570-1626), Francesco Barsanti (1690-1775), and numerous others. Additionally, Floyds Row will often incorporate new folk/classical works by American performer-composers Andrew Arceci and Chris Ferebee.

The début album will be released in 2015, which will feature Hannah James (soprano & accordion); Becky Jane Rea (flute), Joshua Copeland (baritone); Alistair Anderson (English concertina & Northumbrian pipes); James Percival (harmonium), Andrew Arceci (viola da gamba & double bass); and Chris Ferebee (mandolin, guitar & cittern). The album will feature works by Alistair Anderson, Andrew Arceci, and Chris Ferebee.
