Storyteller Xanthe Gresham-Knight, singer-songwriter Kate Daisy Grant and multi-instrumentalist Nick Pynn present an evening of stories and original songs centered around the trees of the Druidic or ‘Ogham' tree calendar.
Xanthe, fresh from her successful new book Herba Mythica - an international selection of tales and healing powers of plants and trees - will be conjuring mythological majesty, herbal wonders and ancient wisdom in her eclectic, powerful and often rip-roaring style.
Between the stories, Kate and Nick will be weaving in songs from Kate’s forthcoming album - that weave the story shards, symbols and spirits from our ancient relationship with the trees.
Surrounded by woodland images, this will be a mesmerising and evocative evening of wonders.
Xanthe is resident storyteller at The British Museum and has been working as a storyteller for several years in theatres, arts centres, parks, schools and libraries. Traditional stories are her springboard into lands of enchantment where goddesses and heroes take centre stage. '...fascinating and enchanting...' (The Daily Telegraph).

Like Alice in Wonderland she takes you on an atmospheric, and sometimes unsettling, journey through surreal dreams filled with whimsical and quirky sounds. Accompanied by a Victorian mechanical toy orchestra, Kate's intimate lyrics and sensuous tones take you by the hand and lead you through this unique experience.

A virtuoso guitarist and violinist it seems he can conjure magic from any stringed instrument he lays his hands on.
