A Wiltshire Tale
About
FRIDAY 14 & SATURDAY 15 SEPTEMBER
An evening of stories and folk songs from one man and his guitar.
A Wiltshire Tale is a poem, set to music, that celebrates Wiltshire’s history, landscape and wildlife from Marlborough-based singer-songwriter Nick Harper. Depicted through the voices of three characters, in this solo show, we bear witness to this most magical of counties in spoken word, poetry and live music.

During the evening Nick will perform two halves for around an hour each. The first of these will present A Wiltshire Tale. The second will concentrate more on his music.
