Shows

An evening with Blanche Rowen & Mike Gulston

A show for anywhere, any time. It's a musical evening's entertainment featuring a truly eclectic collection - funny, seasonal, singalong, English, Welsh, French, folk and trad and modern, mediaeval, send-ups ... Suitable for house concerts, village halls, or festivals, there's something for everyone :)

We've also several shows which feature songs of the changing seasons and the customs and traditions which go with them, sometimes with myths and legends of the land told by our storyteller friend
Cath Little.

Sing The Year Round

We can sing you round the whole year in an evening, such as at this house-concert. Whatever time of year it is, we start with the songs, traditions and customs belonging to that season, and turn the wheel of the year till we come back round to 'now'.

There's songs of mystery and beauty, some downright silly ones and some you can join in with, all delivered with our trademark harmonies and accompaniments.

"Thanks once again for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your show. I love the way you share the beauty of your songs with so much warmth and humour. It was a great evening."
(Flow, our house-concert hostess)

 

Bringing In the May

Our summer show features songs and stories to celebrate May Day, Beltane, Calan Mai, and the coming of summer. There's songs of Maytime goings on, of trees and troubadours and the Devil outwitted, woven through with tales of otherworldly transformations in a landscape of legend, in a time out of time.

This one even includes a solo morris jig!

Stories & Songs for Samhain

In our Hallowe'en show, ghosts, gargoyles and gravediggers, mythic ancestors and shapeshifters join us for a spooky, scary, silly evening to celebrate Hallowe’en, the Day of the Dead and the Celtic New Year. 

Guaranteed not to give you nightmares, though dancing skellingtons are a distinct possibility...

 

 

Old Twelfth Night

The winter show features songs of the Samhain bonfires to welcome the winter in, the Christmas feasting, the New Year Wren Hunt ... plus stories of Gawain and the Green Man and of the Apple Tree Man, tales rooted in the landscape, at that old-year-greets-the-new-year time.

We performed this show at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff to a packed audience.
