Folk by the Oak presents Spell Songs – In Thin Air Tour
A much-anticipated live performance by folk ‘supergroup’ Spell Songs, the musical evolution of the iconic Lost Words and Lost Spells books by acclaimed author Robert Macfarlane and award-winning artist Jackie Morris, commissioned by Folk by the Oak Festival and featuring the collaborative genius of Karine Polwart, Julie Fowlis, Seckou Keita, Kris Drever, Rachel Newton, Beth Porter and Jim Molyneux. Spell Songs are renowned for enthralling live performances that expertly blend virtuosic kora, electroharp, cello, Indian harmonium and more, gorgeously layered with musical and linguistic influences spanning from Orkney to Senegal. Inspired by Robert and Jackie’s latest work, The Book of Birds, Spell Song’s new studio album In Thin Air is released on 4th September and this uplifting performance will include a wealth of beautiful new songs alongside favourites from The Lost Words Spell Songs (2019) and Spell Songs II, Let The Light In (2021). Spell Songs will be joined on stage by Lost Words artist Jackie Morris conjuring creatures and birds from ink and watercolour, bringing a captivating artistic dimension to the show, and exclusive to Cambridge Corn Exchange, for this performance Jackie will be joined by Robert Macfarlane for a pre-show talk about The Book of Birds. With this concert comes the opportunity to join the Spell Songs Scratch Choir Workshop on Saturday 25th July at The Guildhall (a Cambridge Folk Festival Event), and also the chance to perform the songs you have learned on stage at the Cambridge Corn Exchange prior to the Spell Songs Concert on Friday 4th September.
