Light in the Darkness
A magical evening embracing the wildness of winter with spine-tingling music and spell-binding wintery tales.
“In winter, when the green earth is sleeping beneath a blanket of snow, this is the time for storytelling” (Robin Wall-Kimmerer).
This show is for anyone who finds winter hard, and who finds the commercial juggernaut surrounding Christmas a bit overwhelming. An antidote to all that, re-connecting us to the rhythms of the natural world through stories and song, as we cycle through the darkness and back to the light once more.
Showreel
Promoter Feedback
‘A comforting show that speaks to our fundamental human need to gather together and hunker down, to warm the long dark evenings by sharing songs and stories. The folk tales and beautiful harmonies of the show brighten mid-winter. Across time we gather round the hearth. This intimate show is perfect for smaller venues, would go down a treat in a village hall with mulled wine and mince pies!’ (Sian Allen, former Manager of Arts Alive, Shropshire Rural Touring Scheme)
