“A personal response to the climate crisis”
In this specially devised show for What A Wonderful World Festival, the lead singer of Bellowhead presents The Floodplain Trilogy, a personal response to the climate crisis, weaving together contemporary reflections and musings with the sung narratives from his three groundbreaking solo albums, Songs from The Floodplain (2009), Afterglow (2017) and Last Mile Home (2021).
Climate change anxiety is at the heart of the trilogy, but among the darkness there are many moments of light and hope. The Floodplain Trilogy presents a vision of the future that brings together folk-infused ideas of community and weaves them into speculative stories of survival and rediscovery.
