Join the award-winning modern folk trio Harp and a Monkey for a one-off magical afternoon of song and storytelling – of Tall Tales and Truths.
Known for their captivating live performances, you can expect these acclaimed locals to deliver an enchanting mix of true (and not-so-true) tales that take in everything from naked lifesavers to guerilla gardeners and ill-fated medieval pilgrimages. Armed with a rich array of instruments (harp, banjo, guitar, glockenspiel, accordion and more), these wonderful musicians and raconteurs deliver poignancy and humour suitable for all ages and tastes.
Don’t believe us? Well here are some of the things to have been said by others: “Bold and brilliant” (The Observer), “Fantastic” and “fascinating” (Mark Radcliffe on BBC Radio 2), “Inventive” (Mojo magazine), “Excellent” (The Guardian), and “Unique” (folk legend Mike Harding).
Pull up a chair and gather around for a warm, conversational show that will make you feel like you’re sharing stories and songs around the fireside. Whether you’re a folk music aficionado or just looking for an afternoon of laughter, great music, and heartfelt stories, this show will leave you uplifted and inspired.
Don’t miss out on this one!
