Magic, myth and mystery in British folk music - moonrakers @ The Oxfordshire Museum, Woodstock

• Events Home

Illustrated by traditional and contemporary songs and tunes, Moonrakers examine the hidden world of myth and superstition in British folklore. Folk song has always been a powerful medium of transmission for these, allowing skilled storytellers and songwriters to weave the trials and tribulations of daily life into tales of wonder. Moonrakers’ repertoire includes devils, ghosts, witches, selkies, elves, fairies, and more.
This is a narrated show that takes the audience on a journey through the often weird and wonderful stories behind the music. It includes a quick dip into songs collected in the Folk Song Revival at the turn of the 20th century, some of which were already 500 years old.
