Mountain Song bring to life the golden era of Bluegrass & Appalachian mountain music with fast and furious guitar picking and tight harmony vocals.
Enjoy a glimpse into the past with Gospel, fiddle tunes and the high’n'lonesome sound conjuring the spirit of the settlers and pioneers of the American mountains.
Using traditional microphone techniques, each note, harmony and the natural beauty of their instruments is captured allowing the nature of this historical music to come to life.
James Hickman has toured extensively in the UK, Europe and America with the famous fiddle player Dan Cassidy (brother of Eva Cassidy), Uiscedwr (Radio 2 Young Folk Act).
James taught during COVID and began the concept of Mountain Song with his star pupil Will Greenway, who, at the age of 19 has a musical maturity, rich baritone voice and guitar skills that must be seen to be believed.
This project is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

I am so pleased I was able to see the film, as is was intended on the big screen. Much better than watching it at home on the television.

Most films we've seen are enjoyable, well-chosen for the audience and very entertaining at times. Very well run by the group, especially the refreshments at intermission.

An exciting community resource in this isolated village. 'A taste of culture'.

This venue at Tasley is extremely well organised, films are well varied for a mixed audience.

The organisers were very welcoming and offered drinks and cake as everyone arrived. The film (Ali & Ava) was different and gave an insight to other peoples lives. This is why I go to Flicks in the Sticks : to see other films rather than Box Office blockbusters and get a glimpse into other cultures around the world.
