Greenbank Folk Club presents Rachel Newton & Lauren MacColl - Heal & Harrow
Rachel Newton (The Furrow Collective) and Lauren MacColl (Rant) are firmly established as two of the country’s most celebrated folk musicians. They collaborated on each other’s solo projects for many years before co-producing their award winning project Heal & Harrow, based on the Scottish Witch Trials. They are delighted to be offering a duo show that encompasses their vast back catalogue of shared material, both from their solo works from albums such as Haar, Landskein (Lauren), Sealladh and To the Awe (Rachel) and acoustic versions of music from the Heal & Harrow live show.
The 16th and 17th Century Scottish Witch Trials were one of the darkest periods of Scotland’s history. An estimated 2500 people were executed, 80% of which were thought to have been women.
Each piece of music is based on specially commissioned works by celebrated author Mairi Kidd - tales inspired by and in remembrance of real women who were persecuted and tried as witches, and characters from the folkloric tales and mythology enshrined in our oral culture.
Greenbank Folk Club is committed to developing our access & inclusion in every aspect of what we do. Please get in touch if you have any particular access needs or would like to make a suggestion for how we can do things better in the future. We encourage you to fill out our survey after each event so we can hear your thoughts - QR code available in the venue.
This event takes place St Anne's Church, Easton, Bristol BS5 6JN - this venue is wheelchair accessible.
£10 and £15 tickets are available in advance - tickets on the door will be £18. We strongly advise that you book in advance if you'd like to attend as we cannot guarantee there will be door tickets available if the event sells out.
Please tell your friends and share this event - live music and dancing only takes place with the support of the community around us.
We would like to thank our partner projects, The Greenbank, EFDSS (English Folk Dance and Song Society) and Arts Council England for their support in this project.
