Description
A live recording of the critically acclaimed collaboration between Raynor Winn, author of the award winning book and movie "The Salt Path", and the Gigspanner Big Band. Taking songs and tunes from around the Southwest Coast Path which have a poignancy that resonates with the themes in Raynor's writing and blending them with new prose and poetry from Raynor herself who performs alongside the band.
"Last year I met an amazing group of musicians. Individually they have remarkable musical histories, but they've come together to form The Gigspanner Big Band. They had a suggestion, an idea of a collaboration. Their wonderful reimagining of traditional songs and tunes collected from the south west coast path, alongside some new words from me. So I did what you do when faced with a big decision - I thought about it for 5 minutes, then said yes, absolutely yes. How could I turn down the chance to work with names that light up the folk music world?" Raynor Winn - Author of The Salt Path
