Taking audiences by storm from Land’s End to the Scottish borders, SALTLINES is an immersive Prose and Music collaboration between bestselling author Raynor Winn (The Salt Path) and The Gigspanner Big Band, a top tier lineup which features some of the most influential names on the British folk scene.

Saltlines has a powerful originality which is compelling and transporting in equal measure. 

The South West is the backdrop to The Salt Path, Ray’s memoir of love, loss and rediscovery, but it was inevitable that such a well-trodden path would hold many more tales of life and existence at the edge of the land.

Saltlines captures those stories, in new prose from Ray and old songs collected from historic sources around the coast then reimagined by the band to create a collaboration like no other. 
It is an unmissable experience for anyone with a love of lyrical writing and inspiring music, and those who value the social and natural history of Britain’s rural landscape, and the common threads that bind its fragile communities and wildlife. To experience Saltlines is to leave the theatre changed, windswept, salted. 

Its impact on audiences has been a powerful one…

“Saltlines was truly off the scale. Completely carried away by the beauty, sensitivity and pure artistic genius of the whole performance”

“Quite simply one of the most exquisite, breath-taking, hauntingly beautiful and life-affirming performances I’ve ever seen”

“Powerful, thought provoking and blessed with the flow of brilliance. Libretto perfect, musicianship perfect. Quite astonishing”

Beginning life as a trio formed by legendary Steeleye Span fiddle player Peter Knight, the line-up has been expanded to form the Gigspanner Big Band, with acclaimed multi-instrumental duo Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin) and Bellowhead co-founder and melodeon player extraordinaire, John Spiers, joining the fray:
