https://peakrill.com/products/crab-bee-tour-plymouth-ticket-9th-may – Crab & Bee are bringing their weird folk tales to Plymouth. Tales overheard in pubs, found on village noticeboards, and whispered through the landscape itself...
"An inspired retelling of some of the finest tales of England, at once very old and very modern" – Ronald Hutton
"I was reminded of Ted Hughes ‘Crow,’… Snorri Sturlsson’s ‘Elder Edda’… even tales from the Australian Aboriginal ‘Dreamtime.’ ... The sections on Cheddar Gorge particularly resonate with Alan Garner’s work… This Puckish retelling of legendary tropes is delirious, hypnotic, hallucinogenic and utterly compelling" – Will Vigar
"Crab and Bee appear to have casually gathered up the folk consciousness of Britain, laughed at it, stamped on it, and lovingly restored it to our modern landscape… a folk masterpiece" – Lisa Schneidau
