TOM and Barbara Brown?s performance of traditional songs and stories with archive film, ?This Farming Life?, has been quietly taking Devon villages by storm over the last year with well over twenty performances for Villages in Action. Their next show will be at Lewdown Victory Hall on Friday November 30 at 7pm. Tom and Barbara?s humorous, entertaining performance has proved very popular with Villages in Action rural audiences. Tom and Barbara use familiar, and not so familiar, traditional songs to illustrate archive film footage from the South West. Their rich voices harmonise wonderfully and are blended seamlessly with anecdotes and stories and there is plenty of opportunity for people to join in. The show has very wide appeal and is a fascinating look at traditions, some of which survive to this day in Devon?s rural communities. Some film footage is from the 1920s and some of the songs are modern such as ?Bampton Fair?, composed by Paul Wilson of Okehampton based Wren Music. Tickets priced at £5 Adult, £4.50 Concessions, are available from 01566 783267.
