Today on the podcast I’m joined by Suzanne & Jake Tumnus, a bardic storytelling duo who blend stories and music to take you to a place where dragons fly, giants comb their beards and other worldly folk dance with mortals. Singing songs and telling stories from a repertoire of traditional pieces and their own compositions, Suzanne and Jake find their inspiration in the folktales, legends and songs of Britain and the wild hills of South Shropshire.  Their show ‘Saints & Witches’, which you are about to hear, tells the stories of five magical women woven together beautifully with music and song, forming a journey through the seasons, a sequence of stories that collapse a year into a day; into a moment, and into the form of a hare. 

You can find out more about Suzanne & Jake’s storytelling, events, gigs and projects on their website, Cranesfield Bardic Arts, at http://www.cranesfieldbardicarts.co.uk/ and also through their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SuzanneandJakeTumnus.

The music and song accompanying the story today was performed by Suzanne & Jake Tumnus. The Lore & Legend theme music in this episode was performed by Robert Bentall, with additional music from Seikilo Museum of Ancient Instruments.
