Can the traditional music of Britain help us to make sense of the current environmental crisis? In this brand-new collaboration, five of British folk’s leading voices reflect on this question and present an atmospheric and inspiring show that explores the environmental undercurrents of traditional folksong.

Through songs of nature and of seasonal transitions, tales of protest, and ballads set within the rise and fall of Britain’s lost industries, this show reaches back into this country’s shared musical history. It unearths the voices of those who have experienced previous changes in our natural landscape and draws out the parallels with today’s environmental struggles.
