Make Wild Presents... Into The Night

Calling all winter-curious souls.

So many of us spend winter waiting for it to end. 

But last year, Bristol-based songwriter Claudia Georgette Kennaugh did the opposite. She made winter her muse. Embodying the Bardic spirit on a Wintering programme at Wild Things Farm, Pensford, she wrote a song for each month of the season, searching for the hidden gems glinting in the night.

Now winter is drawing close again, and these songs want to be heard. So Claudia is bringing them to UNIT8 Studios for an intimate evening: part gig, part creative gathering.

Settle onto the carpet with a cup of warming apple or cider as Claudia, joined by Bristol musician friends Jac Limbrick and Josh Doughty, retraces her steps through last autumn and winter. Between songs, you’re invited to share any thoughts or reflections.

But the evening doesn’t end when the music does. Afterwards, the studio stays open for quiet or shared creative reflection. With free flapjacks, paper and pens to hand, you can write down any messages that came through, or let a drawing take shape.

The longer nights are a gift. Let’s embrace them together.

Bring a cushion and a blanket for extra cosiness.

We hope to see you there.
