Stirring folk from Marry Waterson and Emily Barker

The duo released their collaborative album, A Window to Other Ways, in March this year and are now taking their songs all over the UK.

A spokesperson for the duo said: “Waterson and Barker discovered an immediate kinship when they started writing together. The intriguing combination of Waterson’s poetic lyrics and Barker’s eclectic musicality has been shaped in the studio by musical polymath Adem Ilhan, with recording contributions from two of Barker’s live band: Lukas Drinkwater (bass and guitar) and Rob Pemberton (drums). Serendipity worked her magic in bringing Waterson, Barker and Adem together. The resulting collection of songs pushes the boundaries of Barker and Waterson’s renowned roots styles, venturing into a diverse union of genres.”

Tickets £14 from stmaryinthecastle.co.uk.

Storytelling Festival comes to Hollington this weekend

Impossible Theatre’s Talking Heads are at Hollington Youth Centre, on Saturday, October 12 (7pm-10pm), as part of this year’s Hastings Storytelling Festival.

A festival spokesperson said: “As dusk falls, three large translucent heads appear. Looking a bit like the giant Easter Island heads, each one of these moves, blinks and seems almost alive as they speak, tell tales and sing.

“The faces are not just those of any old actors though, as audience members can unleash their hidden singing and acting talents by adding their faces to the magically projected talking heads. Come along to this free event!”
