IS A RIVER ALIVE? Macfarlane is Englands best nature writer. The Spectator Everyone who has ever found something to love in a river should find something to love in this book. It is a masterpiece The Economist Robert Macfarlane explores the ancient idea that rivers are living beings in his most personal and political book to date; an idea that has taken on new relevance and urgency as we face a planet battling the effects of climate change. His journey takes him from northern Ecuador, where a miraculous cloud-forest and its rivers are threatened by goldmining, to to the wounded rivers, creeks and lagoons of southern India and finally, to north-eastern Quebec, where a spectacular wild river is being defended from death by damming in a river-rights campaign. Sharing stories and insights Macfarlane shows how our fate is tied into that of our rivers. Robert Macfarlane is a Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He is internationally renowned for his writing on nature, people and place. His bestselling books include Underland, Landmarks and The Wild Places , as well as a book-length prose-poem, Ness .

Tonight's performance features two superb acts who will be well known to TwickFolk regulars. David Collins and Simon OGrady & Tim White have appeared at TwickFolk in floor spots and support slots over the past few years and we are delighted to welcome them back for this special double-headline evening. David is a singer-songwriter-guitarist who has drawn comparison to Chris Wood. Described by award-winning folk singer Nick Hart as Fantastic to hear play his guitar playing sounds really, really lovely, David is a storyteller at heart. His music is a mix of traditional ballads, his own, often very personal songs, and even some contemporary works, too. All of this is underpinned by his guitar playing that has a gentle and nuanced approach, supporting the story and tradition of ballad singing. A semi-finalist at the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Musician awards in 2011, David played across the UK at clubs and festivals. After a break of several years, David's debut full album, Sundown, was released last year and marks his return to live music and performance. Simon and Tim are an alt-folk duo with a unique sound that blends hypnotic rhythms and folk melodies. Their wry, observational lyrics, backed by fluid, finger-picked guitar and tasteful, chiming banjo, are instantly captivating and have drawn considerable praise from TwickFolk audiences. Simon and Tim's new album, Stop Frame Animation, is released on 6 March 2026.
