The Long Barrow
“Welcome fool, you have come of your own free will to the appointed place…”
A musical wander through folklore, taking you from Stonehenge to Scotland and back again in a mix of old and new folk and trad tunes. Hurdy gurdies, harmoniums and bespoke banjos will all be making regular appearances here - so if you've ever felt that's what your life is missing; grab a mug of tea, slack your breeches, put up your hoofers and enjoy!
