The ballad may be known as Tam Lin, but he’s only a part of it. Described by audiences as ‘bold’, ‘refreshing’ and ‘joyful’, Tam Lin Retold is a collection of enchanting and sharp stories that explore unsung voices of Scots/English folklore. Orally told and accompanied by live music, these are tales of temptation, pluck and changing shape promise to take you under the green hill and bring you back out again.
Corinne is a performance storyteller whose work re-centres marginalised voices and silenced histories within folktales, myths and legends. As well as engaging with traditional storytelling practices, she uses physical theatre, stand-up comedy & audience participation to create brand new storytelling performances for a modern audience.
Nick is an award-winning singer and multi-instrumentalist, most noted for his work with English traditional song. He has performed extensively as an actor musician, and as a composer/arranger has provided music for radio, television, theatre and dance.
Corinne and Nick have a great respect for each other’s craft and have worked together on several occasions. Tam Lin Retold is their first major collaboration.
Opening set from Russ Williams, author of forthcoming book 'Where the Folk' which explores Welsh folklore and legends.
Presented by Forging Fantastical in association with the Swindon Festival of Literature.
