The Stray Birds to play two European summer dates

The Stray Birds have been one of the busiest in USA this summer, appearing at most of the country’s biggest outdoor events including MerleFest. It’s a pattern that is about to be repeated in Europe too as they dash over the Atlantic twice in the space of a month for a main stage appearance at Cambridge Folk Festival on Saturday, August 1 followed by a return to Denmark’s big Tønder Festival (August 28 – 30). In between, as well as a London show at Cecil Sharp House (August 19), they play Norwich Arts centre (August 20), Gatehouse Theatre, Stafford, Black Box, Belfast, have a late show lined up at The Famous Spiegeltent during Edinburgh Fringe (August 23) and also return to Glasgow’s St Andrews In The Square, scene of their sold-out Celtic Connections show last year (August 25).
