Tales of Robin Hood and other radicals

Under leaves so green: Tales of Robin Hood and other radicals Performed by Nick Hennessey In the soft, green heart of Sherwood Forest villains are vanquished, and heroes cheer around the gleaming fires of companionship. The stories and songs of Robin Hood are perennial, reminding us of the strength of the common good in the face of tyranny. They have been and continue to be an inspiration to the thinkers and do-ers of our world. Nick Hennessey is a singer, songwriter and performance storyteller. He is a dynamic and passionate performer whose love for the traditional culture of northern Europe forges together the note, the song and the spoken word into a unique, engaging style. Nick has a passion for the relationship between landscape, communities and stories and the re-invention of tradition. He has been telling stories for more than 20 years, performing at venues such as the South Bank Centre and Royal Albert Hall. He is particularly inspired by North European cultural traditions and has been awarded high honours in Finland for his work on their National Epic, Kalevala. He is a sought after artistic collaborator, working with top of the field musicians and storytellers. He has broadcast documentaries for BBC Radio 4 and his musical work has featured on BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction. Tickets: £7 Suitable for ages 14+ (under 16s must be accompanied by an adult)
