The Transports

Join some of Britain’s leading folk musicians for a timely re-telling of Peter Bellamy’s legendary folk ballads. BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners The Young’uns, Faustus, Nancy Kerr and members of Bellowhead – all in one show! This new production combines The Transports’ incredible music with spell-binding story-telling. At a time when migration makes headlines daily, this tale of past migration shows how little has changed in the global movement of desperate people. The accompanying project Parallel Lives charts – town by town – those who once left Britain with those who have recently arrived. There’s seldom been a more vital moment to bring back The Transports – not just a great music experience, but a sharp reminder of folk music’s power in portraying the way the world actually works.
