On a beautiful day in May the novelist, nature writer and podcaster Melissa Harrison and the composer and multi instrumentalist Laura Cannell take us for a walk in the glorious Suffolk countryside. Laura plays a recorder duet with a nightingale, Melissa reads from her acclaimed novel “All Among The Barley” – appropriately enough in a field of ripening barley – and we hunt for barn owl pellets “like dark Kinder Eggs” as Melissa has it. Then Laura takes out her fiddle and – using her distinctive “overbowing” technique – plays music inspired by ancient traditions and a deep sense of place.—We rely on support from our listeners to keep this show on the road.
