Tickets: £7 advance, £8 on the door

Greya and Glibyun is a sonic folktale performed by Avant folk ensemble Scops. Scops will take you to a remote island deep in our spiritual past to tell the story of Greya, a barren peasant woman caught between two religious worlds. On this island we will learn how Greya came to undertake a journey to achieve her lifelong wish for motherhood. This story will be told through seven songs, theatrically brought to life at The Cube Microplex for an immersive story telling experience.

Support will be provided by Chris Park & OG JIGG

Chris Park lives on an organic farm in the Vale of the White Horse, Oxfordshire. His work is wide and varied, from arts and crafts, ancient technologies, experimental archaeology and educational projects to eco-building, storytelling, folk music, mental health projects, apitherapy, and raising the awareness of the heritage of beekeeping. He is a practicing Druid of the Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids, being immersed and versed in the folklore and spiritual traditions rooted within these honeyed isles.

OG JIGG - channelling icy dungeon synth, children's television (think Willo the wisp and other semi-terrifying yet nostalgic psychedelia), neolithic jazz and folk horror. They sing of a lone bard with the talent of many - who travelled from temple to tavern to dungeon telling of icy wastelands further afield, undead-infested tombs, child-eating river hags and of times when Sarum stood tall. As they Serpent dance around the bonfire, they sing his fabled song:

''Where are all his arms?
And, all of his hands?
And, how does he conjure such magical lands?
O. G. Jigg! O. G. Jigg! O. G. Jigg!''

This is his tale...

* Doors at 7pm, performances start at 7:30pm.
