Children’s workshops in ukulele and berimbau, demonstrations of the Russian balalaika and the Senegalese kora, and a big banjo jam session were all part of the day. Award-winning French aerial theatre company Les Colporteurs presented a breathtaking, plucky performance on a set made of poles and high wires outside the main exit of Canary Wharf tube. Music onstage in Canada Square Park featured an array of strings musicians, including fiddle, harp, oud (Arabic lute), mandolin, balalaika, bass balalaika, banjo, concluding with a big hopkele – a klezmer styled Céilidh dance.
