Powerful and beautiful. I wish I could listen to the stories of the Bardess again

This Bardess is truly on a mission in her "rovings" - to call up ancient tunes and songs and stories and to spread them where'er she goes, to remind us of our connections to one another and to the earth. A stunning voice and impressive chops on the fiddle. A lovely way to start the day.

Just an amazing experience. Meditative, spiritual, remarkably musical. Highly recommended. Even the wee dug across from me was mellow.

I have just been to see this AGAIN!!! Such a good show I had to come back. If you're looking for a meditative, calming beautiful escape this Fringe Festival then this is the place to come. Bronwyn's captivating heart-warming performance is mesmerising and the content in this show is the perfect balance of music and story telling. Come to this show for a relaxing, envigorating, soul-nourishing journey perfectly timed at 11am. I am already planning my third ticket for this show....!
