Toussaint: Traditions of the Dark Months

Featuring renowned performers Anne Lederman on fiddle and storyteller Bruce Carmody

A bewitching evening of storytelling and music from the Celtic tradition of Breton folklore, when during the “Black Months” of November and December all gathered by the fire to hear the bleak and eerie tales of northern coastal France. With roots reaching far into ages past, this oral tradition stretches from pagan times through the Middle Ages (including tales of Merlin, Morgan le Faye and the ancient forest of Broceliande) and even later. Our evening will take you beyond King Arthur into the lesser-known realms of these rich and haunting tales.

Please note: we advise that some of the stories may not be suitable for children under 12.

Doors open 7 pm

Event 7.30-10 pm, with one intermission. Hot cider will be served during the break.

Pre-registration is strongly recommended.
