SALTLINES ~ Raynor Winn and Gigspanner Big Band

Taking audiences by storm from Land’s End to the Scottish borders, SALTLINES is an immersive Prose and Music collaboration between bestselling author Raynor Winn (The Salt Path) and The Gigspanner Big Band, a top tier lineup which features some of the most influential names on the British folk scene.

Saltlines has a powerful originality which is compelling and transporting in equal measure. By closely weaving reimagined folk music from the south-west with original prose written and narrated for the production by Raynor Winn, it reaches into the rich and visceral history of the South West Coast to celebrate the area’s landscape, social history and enduring traditions. It is an unmissable experience for anyone with a love of lyrical writing and inspiring music, and those who value the social and natural history of Britain’s rural landscape, and the common threads that bind its fragile communities and wildlife.

Its impact on audiences has been a powerful one…

Beginning life as a trio formed by legendary Steeleye Span fiddle player Peter Knight, the line-up has been expanded to form the Gigspanner Big Band, with acclaimed multi-instrumental duo Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin) and Bellowhead co-founder and melodeon player extraordinaire, John Spiers, joining the fray.
