Martin Simpson and Eliza Carthy are among the artists set to appear at a Wild Singing weekend event at Kings Place in March. The weekend festival of folk music is inspired by the natural world and is part of Kings Place’s year-long Nature Unwrapped series.
Co-curated by Matthew Bannister’s award-winning Folk on Foot podcast, the weekend sees influential figures from the UK folk scene, in evening concerts, preceded by ‘in conversation’ events with Matthew alongside film and footage from the podcasts, bringing together the podcaster’s three passions – folk music, walking and telling stories in sound.
Daytime events will include performances from environmentally-inspired artists The Rheingans Sisters and Kitty Macfarlane and fascinating projects The Songhive Project and The Wilderness Yet.
