"Folk songs by their very nature recall the past, but words and meaning can change and drift over time, like the headlands of the coast slipping in and out of the mist. The Saltlines project combines a rich heritage of song with an exploration of words to reach that moment where thesun burns back the mist and the south west comes into clear view" Raynor Winn.
An exciting collaboration between bestselling author Raynor Winn (The Salt Path) and folk-roots supergroup The Gigspanner Big Band, which features some of the biggest names on the folk scene.
Together they will celebrate the beauty, stories and traditions of the South West Coast Path in old songs and new words…words which have been written by Raynor especially for this production.
Beginning life as a trio formed by legendary Steeleye Span fiddle player Peter Knight, the line-up has been expanded to form the Gigspanner Big Band, with acclaimed multi-instrumental duo Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin - BBC Folk Awards 'Best Duo') and Bellowhead co-founder and melodeon player extraordinaire, John Spiers, joining the fray.
"What a fabulous team they make, together producing a startlingly new musical form with few, if any, antecedents. The flights of musical fancy are staggering in their natural invention"
