The Singing Bones

The Singing Bones is a soulful meditation on the beautiful and fragile natural world which surrounds us, and a powerful celebration of the difference that humans can make in the world when we work and act together.

JP Worsfold and Anne-Marie Sanderson are two Cumbrian musicians whose haunting lyrics and shimmering harmonies weave visions of the wildlife that the Borrowdale Yews have witnessed being pushed to the brink of extinction. But now nature is making a comeback: A goshawk shivers across the sky, an otter dances in the river, a tree sings in the forest, rare alpine plants cling to isolated crags yearning for their soulmates.

Threading between the songs come shadows of a wilder past. Well-known local legends of the last wolf in Westmorland and the last wild boar in Cumbria are re-imagined by storyteller Jessie McMeekin. She spins yarns about the last eagles in the Lakes and leads us towards hopes of a wilder future.

Presented as part of the Berwick Literary Festival.
