CHRIS WOOD AND HUGH LUPTON
On Common Ground

The landscape holds the memory of everyone who has ever trodden it…. all you have to do is listen! In this programme of stories, music, poetry and song Chris Wood and Hugh Lupton put their ears to the ground and celebrate the extra-ordinary lives of ordinary people and the places they have inhabited. Hugh is a master wordsmith, Chris is the leading folk musician of his generation, together they weave a beguiling magic.

“Sheer wizardry in the guise of utter simplicity…a packed house sat in a thrall of enchantment, no movement, no intrusive sounds… Hugh Lupton is joined by singer/fiddler Chris Wood, whose style is timeless and beguiling, his songs wonderfully evocative.” Eastern Daily Press

Funny, exciting, poignant, spooky, bawdy and tragic in turn - this is a programme that sings of the unsung and remembers the forgotten histories of the soil.
