with Storyteller Clive Fairweather
"Speech is the minstrel of God and the pleasure of Heaven."
William Langland, fourteenth-century visionary poet.
A programme full of the strangeness and excitement of love, war and pilgrimage in Plantagenet times. A dynamic performance of music story and song, inextricably woven together, to create a magical and evocative tapestry of sound and imagery. Re-awakening the mischief and splendor of medieval Europe.
All the music and stories used are from Medieval sources and give a unique insight into the every day lives, not to mention the fears, fantasies and desires of the common folk of the Middle Ages
A skilled historical interpreter with a particular interest in medieval literature, Clive is one of the West Country's leading storytellers.
