Commissioned by Folk by the Oak in 2018, Spell Songs is a musical evolution of both The Lost Words & The Lost Spells books by acclaimed author Robert Macfarlane and award-winning illustrator Jackie Morris; creating a listening experience that intersects music, literature, language and art, as a call to reawaken our love of the wild.
The Spell Songs ensemble features the multifaceted talents and collaborative genius of Karine Polwart, Julie Fowlis, Seckou Keita, Kris Drever, Rachel Newton, Beth Porter and Jim Molyneux
Following the hugely successful release of their first album (The Lost Words: Spell Songs 2019) we are thrilled that Spell Songs II: Let The Light In is out now, with a UK wide tour in January / February 2022
