Light in the Darkness
“In winter, when the green earth is sleeping beneath a blanket of snow, this is the time for storytelling.”
Pull up a seat by the fire and spend an evening embracing the arrival of winter with spine-tingling music and spellbinding wintery tales.
Light in the Darkness is a collection of songs celebrating winter in all its raw beauty, from Shakespeare’s unsettling Blow, blow, thou winter wind to the joyous El Mochilon, a Colombian song about bringing coffee and cinnamon to your beloved in the mountains by moonlight. Performed in four-part harmony by the singers of the Cumbrian Tatie Pot collective, the music takes us on a journey through winters around the world, through the shadows of the boreal forest, into the peculiar stillness of the midwinter solstice. They conjure that unique wintery pleasure of coming in out of the cold to a place of warmth and light and human connection.
Tatie Pot are a collective of Cumbrian singers, musicians and storytellers who weave magical narratives through stories and songs, inspired by the traditions of the British Isles, and the turning year. Story-teller Jessie McMeekin and musician Dave Camlin are joined by singers Angie Power and Gilli Goodfellow to form an ensemble who frame Jessie’s powerful and inspiring stories with an enchanting sound world of rich harmony.
