Come as a teller or as a listener.
Explore the world of stories from the Weird to the Wonderful, from the Everyday to the Enchanted, from Surrey to Surinam.Storyteller Alex Somerville presents "Stretching the Truth" in and amongst a cornucopia of Egyptian and Urban Myths.

" honest, most magickal and real, a treasure indeed "Root Deity PoemsReleased on 30th November 2008, Songs from the Uglee Meadow features ten original songs inspired by nature and tales of myth and legend. Having already won acclaim from various quarters including Michael Tyack of Circulus and Marianne Segal, folk legend of the 1970's, and blending medieval, celtic, folk and contemporary influences, Songs from the Uglee Meadow should appeal to all lovers of the acoustic folk style."I am very impressed. Beautiful voice and really nice arrangements. I have strong connections with the folk world and this is one of the best things I have heard recently." Andy Hemsley, JournalistThe album "Songs from the Uglee Meadow" is inspired by a serene and beautiful place in East Sussex called the Uglee Meadow. With the involvement of musicians such as Will Summers from Circulus on crumhorns, recorders and other blowy things and Philip Martin (alias Drohne) on hurdy gurdy and pipes. Songs inspired by quiet woods, rushing streams, misty meadows, lonely moors and dancing fires imbued with an air of timelessness.LIVE AT ORANGE STREET MUSIC CLUBCANTERBURYWEDS 20TH MAY 20098.00 pm Tel: 01227 760801 £5 EntryWWW.MYSPACE.COM/TWILIGHTFOLKCLUB
