Our festival finale with Bude Lit Fest Patron - Raynor Winn and The Gigspanner Big Band.
The Salt Path is Raynor Winn's Sunday Times best-selling memoir of walking the South West Coast Path in its entirety, under the weight of personal tragedy and misfortune. It has won global praise for its 'against all odds' uplifting message, and its frank exploration of the reality of homelessness.
The Salt Path is one couple's story, but such a well-trodden path must hold many more stories of loss, love and the natural world. Perhaps these stories could be found in the form of traditional songs and tunes that have been left behind and saved for us due to the diligence of song collectors such as Cecil Sharp and Sabine Baring-Gould.
This seed of an idea has developed into an exciting collaboration between Raynor Winn and The Gigspanner Big Band, a collective of some of the most high-profile names on the British folk scene.
Together, Raynor and the Gigspanner Big Band will celebrate, in traditional songs and newly written words, this "630 uninterrupted miles of coastline, crossing wild headlands with the calls of oystercatchers, and the smell of salt laden air ever present"
The Gigspanner Big Band are a unique force in British folk music...
