LIVE | THE BARREL HOUSEWeird Walk presents Ley Line. Questing for Myth, Magic, Music & Merriment.
Linear trackways criss-cross this land. Ancient sites and places of deep mythic significance are connected and aligned. These ‘ley lines’ remain the ultimate in participatory landscape magic. Whether they are ceremonial paths, subtle energy channels or plain magical thinking, the power they hold is undeniable.
As part of a South-West Autumn tour (with dates in Exeter, Plymouth and Penyrn), we’re absolutely delighted to welcome Pictish Trail, Bas Jan, a specially created Weird Walk video mixtape & a DJ set from Guto Pryce (Super Furry Animals) to Totnes’ Barrel House.
Their quest begins deep within the land of the St Michael Line. By following this numinous alignment, the touring musicians of Ley Line will perform a rite of reactivation: by day you are encouraged to seek out your own connections in the landscape, and by night join us for music, merriment and re-enchantment, a collective endeavour in the time of the individual.
Follow the ley and follow the music, join us on this quest.
Pictish Trail’s most recent, acclaimed, album Island Family explores connections to both place and time from the viewpoint of Johnny Lynch’s life on a remote Scottish Isle.
“Island Family is wild, rangy and dramatic, as befits its staggering landscapes and characters through Eigg’s darker history”
Bas Jan is the vehicle for harpist, and Jarvis Cocker associate, Serafina Steer, violinists Emma Smith and Charlie Stock and percussionist Rachel Horwood. Their new sensational art-rock opus Baby U Know was released earlier this year on the esteemed Lost Map Records.
“Internal monologues, workings-out of philosophical positions, political despair and myth making. It demands & deserves undivided attention”
