Spell Songs with Kris Drever and Jackie Morris
Beautiful new music in praise of British nature, with Kris Drever and painter Jackie Morris from the Spell Songs project.
The best folk and acoustic music.
This week, Mark focuses on the wonders of British nature, as songwriter Kris Drever and painter Jackie Morris talk about Spell Songs II - Let The Light In.
It is the second album by the Spell Songs collective, which features some of these islands' finest folk musicians: Karine Polwart, Julie Fowlis, Seckou Keita, Kris Drever, Rachel Newton, Beth Porter and Jim Molyneux.
The group formed to create a musical evolution of Robert Macfarlane and Jackie's book, The Lost Words, which was inspired by increasingly forgotten English words for nature. The Lost Words and its musical evolution are a defence of our flora and fauna, and the colourful language we've used to describe it for generations.
The Spell Songs group combine on stage with Jackie Morris' live, fluid painting, to create a multimedia folk celebration of nature.
