Saltlines- Raynor Winn and the Gigspanner Big Band

Taking audiences by storm, Saltlines is a compelling and absolutely unique Prose and Music collaboration between bestselling author Raynor Winn (The Salt Path) and folk-roots supergroup The Gigspanner Big Band, which features some of the biggest names on the folk scene.

Together they celebrate the beauty, stories and traditions of the South West Coast Path in a seamless performance of old songs with their origins in the South-West, and brand-new compositions written by Raynor Winn especially for this production.

Raynor says “The coastline of the south west holds a rich past, a vibrant present and has changed my life in ways without measure, so to find inspiration for Saltlines wasn’t hard. The Gigspanner Big Band brought together a beautiful collection of songs from the area to form the basis of the project and my words have come in response to the history, texture and sense of place those songs evoke”

Saltlines is an unmissable experience for those with a love of lyrical writing and inspiring music, and for anyone who values the social and natural history of Britain’s rural landscape, and the common threads that bind its fragile communities and wildlife.

"Saltlines is beautiful…. Raynor Winn performs prose about the sea, nature and love with exquisite musicianship from the wonderful Gigspanner Big Band. It’s just what we need right now"- (Marianne Elliott OBE, Director (War Horse))
