Continuum Research - Sometimes Found in the Woods




These unusual items discovered whils scoping in Thoroughsale Woods with Jo Dacombe during our research period for Continuum also became part of one of the songs written for Dreaming Our Woods. Barg Jungr asked each of the members of Ring of Fire to write a verse (or verses) for a song about The Oak. This came after a walk taken with Barb and the choir where we stopped by a magnificent, ancient oak tree in the woods. People shared ideas about the life of the tree, what it meant to them and all the many events that may have taken place under its generous canopy of leaves and branches. I wrote three verses - see if you can spot them here.

DRTT Montagu Monuments Project



The whole deep Roots Tall Trees team and Choir made a lovely visit to St Edmund's Church to see the Montagu Monuments and hear how we sound in the space. I'm going to be part of the Ring of Fire writing team again and will have another opportunity to find out how words, melodies, music, research, become songs under Barb Jungr's expert guidance and inspirational energy.
