Haunted ballads, spectral voices, and tales from the beyond
Step into the candlelit world of haunted ballads, spectral voices, and tales from the beyond…
Cellist-singer Laura Moody launches her brand new Halloween EP Haunted at The Nest, Oxford, with a spine-tingling evening of music and storytelling. Inspired by Victorian women’s ghost poetry and performed with nothing but voice and cello, Laura conjures a soundworld that is dark, atmospheric, and deliciously eerie.
She’s joined by much-loved Oxford folk singer Ian Giles (Magpie Lane, The Oxford Waits), renowned for his rich, characterful performances of English traditional song - and by a special guest storyteller Gillian Bevan. Gillian is a magnetic British actor celebrated for her fearless range including the cult horror classic Ghostwatch, to beloved TV dramas like Teachers and Holby City. On stage, she's graced countless West End productions and made history as the first woman to play Cymbeline for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Expect ghost stories, spook folk, and spectral songs in a playful, spine-prickling celebration of the strange and supernatural. Goosebumps guaranteed.
A bit about the venue.
At Irregular Folks choosing the right venue for the artists we programme is crucial to the experience. We’re thrilled to bring our next night to brand new venue The Nest. The Nest isn’t just another venue, it's been brilliantly kitted out by artists for artists while providing a safe, inclusive hub. The Nest is the result of years of hard work by YWMP’s ground-breaking Safer Spaces project.
