NICK PENNY – with a love letter to a short stretch of river and all the wild things that live there, especially the kingfishers.
Wildlife recordist, composer, and craftsman, Nick Penny is author of Call of the Kingfisher.
Written with a musician’s ear, this is a delightful, insightful, and lyrical book about what can be seen and heard when we approach nature with patience and curiosity. With access to high-quality riverside wildlife recordings, it’s an invitation to appreciate the beauty of nature, even in the most ordinary places, and to use our ears as much as our eyes when we experience the natural world.
Note. This special event celebrating nature on the first day of the Festival will include musical interludes on handpan and Paraguayan harp.
This event is taking place at Lower Shaw Farm, West Swindon, SN5 5PJ
