Liz Clark In Conversation with The Wilderness Yet – ‘What Holds The Word Together’ AOW……….
Liz Clark aka Auntie Liz will be in conversation with Rosie Hodgson of The Wilderness Yet on Sat 23rd July live from the Widkham Folk Festival, re the new album ‘What Holds The World Together’, released on 21st July 2022
.At a time of disconnection from each other and the environment, What Holds The World Together is an album grounded in our relationship with the natural world. This is an exploration of the world’s stories, seasons and sorrows, but also an album with deeply personal links. From The Last Shanachie, which features a wax cylinder recording of Rowan’s great-great-grandfather (a traditional Irish storyteller), to The Nightingale’s Lullaby, a song written to lull Rowan and Rosie’s newborn son to sleep, the album is centred around love, community and connection – and perhaps that’s what holds the world together, after all.
Holding the weight of the world on its shoulders, whilst simultaneously radiating the joy of life, What Holds The World Together is a rumination on everything it means to be human.
