Hook, Line And Singer

Hay Festival 2013, Sunday 2 June 2013

The singer and guitarist introduces her celebratory journey exploring the songs, lullabies and ballads that have been part of family life for centuries. In songs you are shoulder to shoulder with the mother, the orphan, the downtrodden, the maimed, the soldier, the butcher, the blacksmith, the sick, the poor, the insane, and you may party hard among the night life in the seediest parts of town without risking life or limb… Songs are bold, pretty and wild. Yes, wild. They have a life of their own. They will outlive us, travel further than us and touch generations we’ll never meet.
