Jim Causley & Miranda Sykes: Ghosts, Werewolves & Countryfolk

Colchester Arts Centre, 21 Oct 2024


Ghosts, Werewolves & Countryfolk - Songs & Stories of Sabine Baring Gould

Tickets £17.50 / £16.50 concessions.
Doors open 7.30pm, starts 8pm.
This gig is for a seated audience.

Six time BBC Folk Award nominee Jim Causley and Miranda Sykes from the Award winning Show of Hands and Daphne’s Flight celebrate the centenary of Sabine Baring-Gould, by exploring his life and writing through the folk songs that meant so much to him in an entertaining show that will have the audience singing, gasping and smiling.

Sabine was an astonishing and often overlooked celebrity of the Victorian era. He interleaved folk songs he’d collected and wove real people and events into his fiction, to give it life. And that’s what Jim and Miranda do in the show, where they’re joined by narrator John Palmer, creator of the critically acclaimed Vaughan Williams 150 Anniversary From Pub to Pulpit tour of Cathedrals with Paul Hutchinson’s Coracle and acapella group Broomdasher.
