Join some of Britain’s leading folk musicians for a timely re-telling of Peter Bellamy’s legendary folk
ballads The Transports. In 1977 Peter Bellamy released The Transports on record with The Watersons, Martin Carthy, Nic Jones, AL Lloyd, June Tabor, Cyril Tawney, Dave Swarbrick and others. Several times since, further generations of folk musicians have gathered to re-create the piece.
The Transports tells the incredible tale of a family destroyed by poverty and crime, but resurrected
by exile to the new colony of Australia. With fresh script and musical arrangement, this famous show re-emerges within a modern context of mass migration.
