The Spell Songs crew take it for a walk in the Lake District


The new collaborative project Spell Songs inspired by The Lost Words book (Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris) features artists Karine Polwart, Julie Fowlis, Seckou Keita,


Kris Drever, Kerry Andrew, Rachel Newton, Beth Porter and Jim Molyneux.


The book began as a response to the removal of everyday nature words from a widely used children’s dictionary, but then grew to become a much broader protest at the loss of the natural world around us, as well as a celebration of the creatures and plants with which we share our lives, in all their characterful glory. The musical project was put together by Folk By The Oak, who say that “During an enlightening talk on The Lost Words with Robert and Jackie at the Hay Winter Festival 2017 we were treated to a beautiful musical sound piece called Wren Song which Kerry Andrew wrote in response to Robert’s spell. In that moment the spark of a musical collaboration was formed in our minds. We


tentatively approached the authors with this seed of an idea and we were overjoyed at their enthusiastic and positive response!”


“So began a wonderful journey into the intriguing world of The Lost Words with some remarkable folk musicians, an exceptional author and a visionary artist. Folk By The Oak has invited the musicians to gather for a residency in the Herefordshire countryside to begin their musical journey with The Lost Words – Spell Songs in January 2019. The newly created music will then be recorded straight after the residency to produce an album which will be released in late summer 2019. The songs will go on tour in February 2019.”


The project takes to the road with shows at Snape


Maltings, Suffolk (8th Feb); Birmingham Town Hall (9th); Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester (10th) and QEH, Southbank, London (12th). Spell Songs will play other select venues throughout 2019 including Folk by the Oak festival on Sunday 14th July.
