Imaginary Landscapes brings together the spellbinding poetry of Chris Tutton, acclaimed author, performer and raconteur, with the semi-improvised harp brilliance of international award/winning harpist, Lucy Nolan, in a performance of words by Chris and music by Lucy.
“Magical and mesmerising... an exquisite fusion of words and music”
