THE TRANSPORTS
A TALE OF EXILE & MIGRATION
Join some of Britain’s leading folk musicians for a timely re-telling of Peter Bellamy’s legendary folk ballads The Transports. Here is a rare chance to see BBC award winners The Young’uns, Faustus, Nancy Kerr and members of Bellowhead together on stage.
This new production combines The Transports’ incredible music with spell-binding story-telling.
At a time when migration makes headlines daily, this tale of past migration shows how little has changed in the global movement of desperate people. The accompanying project Parallel Lives charts – town by town – those who once left Britain with those who have recently arrived.
