“Having long shared a passion for rich, layered and intricate guitar music, the Sons’ deep musical exploration has quickly developed into a unique and mesmerizing style, brooding on the dark fringes of folk, crossing genres and quickly setting them apart from their contemporaries…"
Following a string of monumental live shows across the country in the summer including performances at End of The Road Festival (main stage), Moseley Folk Festival and showcases at The Big Chill, the Sons are now preparing to elevate their soulful and intimate live experience to higher plains as they gear up for their first ever UK & European headline tour AND the world-wide launch of their debut album on April 20th 2009...

24th April 2009 – Xanthe Gresham – “The Bag of  Wonders”

Storytelling that's as sharp as a lemon and as sweet as a  nut.  Accept it or not, we’re all hooked on our baggage system, whether  it's a clutch bag or a
holdall, but forget what's in yours and come and rummage  around in Xanthe's bottomless bag.  Between the kitchen sink and the old  tube tickets lies a pick
and mix of marvels, fibs and fables.  See what you  can pull from this lucky dip!

29th May 2009– Alex Somerville –  “Stretching the Truth”

Storyteller, Alex Somerville, searches out  the truth in and amongst a
cornucopia of Egyptian and Urban Myths. And threading  them all together is the snake which gets everywhere from guarding a treasure at  the bottom of the River Nile to hiding in a cowboy boot. A thought-provoking and  spell-binding show that deals with the paradox of creation and the reason why we  believe in stories.

26th June 2009– Kate Portal – “Tales for  Summer”

Kate Portal will be telling tales for the season of summer,  adding the warmth of a song or tune or two.  So come and enjoy the  brightness of a summer
evening at The Sanctuary.

24th July 2009 –  Ghislaine Walker - “From behind the pharmacist’s counter”

Ghislaine  Walker has been absorbing the stories that shape her local area for many years.  She will share tales from behind the pharmacist’s counter – of
sickness and  health, of charlatans and conmen. Tales of the ordinary woven in with the  extraordinary.
