About this event

... and Mystery

An improbable, ceremonial night of words, wonder and spirit work. Stories and observations by author/culture activist Stephen Jenkinson, drawn from his decades of work in palliative care, are woven with original songs/sonics by recording artist Gregory Hoskins.

These two Canadian artists have been exploring the intersection of their work for eight years, across three continents, in three recordings and two short films. For more about the artistes, go to https://orphanwisdom.com and https://gregoryhoskins.com

They are on the road again, as they did in the beginning: a singer and a storyteller out into the mystery days to Israel, the UK, Scandinavia, Australia, the USA and Canada.

Concerts for Turbulent Times they surely are. Not poets, maybe, but the evenings are poetic. The Nights are musical, grave, raucous, and stilling, which probably means they are theatrical. They have the mark of our time upon them, timely, urgent, alert, and steeped in mortal mystery. Love letters to life are written and read aloud. There’s some boldness in them. They have that tone. They’re quixotic. They have swagger. What would you call such a thing? They called it Nights of Grief & Mystery.

For a flavour, you can watch the short film ‘Lost Nation Road’ at https://youtu.be/I-Ll8SCNZ4E
