About

Devon-based musicians, six-time BBC Folk Award nominee Jim Causley and Miranda Sykes of the award-winning Show of Hands, bring a special show in time for Halloween. It also celebrates the centenary of the Rev Sabine Baring Gould, the first serious collector of folksongs, and the writer of the hymn Onward Christian Soldiers!

Singing some songs he collected, and maybe new ones, Miranda, Jim and narrator John Palmer , interweave highlights of Sabine’s own astonishing life with anecdotes and stories from his impressive array of best-selling-books.

Baring Gould was an amazing man. As well as collecting 2,000 folk songs – many of them from the south west - he was one of the top ten best-selling Victorian novelists; the writer of a bloodthirsty book on werewolves; author of a nerve-tingling book of ghost stories and the compiler of the finest Dartmoor history book.

A man of contrasts and contradictions, he died in 1924 and our tribute aims to make the audience smile, gasp and sing along to an entertaining and engaging show.
