A brand new duo with the best of old time music!
Teilhard and Jock found a shared love of Appalachian fiddle tunes around a full table, licking plates and dancing in the kitchen. They’re both tall, rather polite, love great food and play twin fiddles and occasional banjo, and who knows what else too!
Canadian musician and instrument maker, Teilhard (tay-YAR) Frost specialises in traditional folk music with a focus on Appalachian old time music. He has spent the last twenty years touring with the sensational rag-time outfit Sheesham, Lotus, and ‘Son. Other work include The Os project with Jason Mercer (Ani diFranco, Ron Sexsmith), The Complete Recordings of Hezekiah Proctor with L'il Andy, Succeeder with Michael Duguay, Jenny Whiteley, Joey Wright, and miles of studio session work for over 50 albums and film. He currently lives on Wolfe Island in the St. Lawrence River, straddling the border of Canada and the United States. There he makes banjos, his supper and his bed.
Jock Tyldesley is perhaps best known for his fiddling in Cajun bands such as The Flatville Aces and the Bearcats, as well as more off-the-wall antics with The New Rope String Band and The Chipolatas.
He also nurtures a long-time passion for Southern Appalachian old time fiddle and banjo tunes, whilst touring with his regular bands and US acts such as Eddie LeJeune, The Dirk Powell Band, Sheryl Cormier, Martha Scanlan, Beverly Smith and Carl Jones and Balfa Toujours.

Most of our shows use ‘cabaret-style’ seating. This means that your seats will be unreserved, which allows you to decide where to sit when you arrive.
The stalls (downstairs) are set up informally, with chairs around small tables, for a sociable, relaxed atmosphere, and somewhere to put your drink. Cabaret seating also allows space for dancing, which is highly encouraged at Victoria Hall!
For those who prefer a more ‘traditional’ theatre experience, the balcony seats are laid out in rows and raked, ensuring all seats have an excellent view.
For parties of six or more, tables in the stalls can be reserved- contact us to reserve a table. If you have reserved a table, we ask that at least one of your party turn up at least 30 minutes before the performance start time, in order to secure your table.
We can always reserve seating or wheelchair spaces in the stalls for those unable to use the stairs- just let us know when you book your tickets.
Please note, online bookings are subject to a booking fee. Tickets can also be bought by phone on 01729 825718, or in person at our box office. Opening hours are 10am-2pm, Monday-Friday.
Show end times given are an estimate only. Doors open 45 minutes before show start times.
Settle Victoria Hall reserves the right to turn away any customers not adhering to social-distancing laws, government guidelines, and/ or venue safeguarding policies.
