Authored by Mary Youlden
Posted: Tue, 11/11/2014 - 10:15am

There was a time when hideous tales of werewolves and hounds struck fear into the hearts of people across Devon. Were these tales just folklore? Or were the stories true? Many people believed it was the latter.

Some of the stories from his famous work, The Book of Were-wolves, are the inspiration for a show being taken on a tour of Devon by the Wren Band, who have...

Venue: 
Exeter Phoenix

‘Good folk songs are like dangerous ideas, forcing us to re-imagine who we are and the institutions that support us.’

Folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Luke Daniels’ talents as a singer-songwriter are becoming widely recognised. Immaculate acoustic guitar playing and insightful, honest lyrics exploring love, life, doubt and faith and the idea that happiness and hope spring from what we have in common, rather than what we can acquire as individuals.

Over the course of a twenty-year career Daniels has already earned his place on the UK Folk scene as a virtuoso...
