FILMING THE HALSTOW WASSAIL

The Halstow Wassail takes place each year on a Devon cider farm that has been in the Gray family since the late 1600s.

Featuring singer- songwriter Jim Causley, Dartmoor folk singer Bill Murray, and the shanty crew Mariners Away, the film in a single uninterrupted camera shot documents this traditional event.

The Halstow Wassail was filmed at Gray’s Devon Cider.

The event was beautifully documented by the photographer Robert Darch.

FILMING THE WILD TOUR

By Daniel Bye and Boff Whalley

In May 2021, Daniel Bye and Boff Whalley set off from Northam Burrows, at the mouth of the River Taw on Devon's north coast and ran south crossing Devon and finishing at Sugary Cove by the mouth of the River Dart on the south coast.

The whole Wild Tour is a celebration of all the things we've been unable to do over the past year: perform live, sing together, and run in places too wild to be accessible from our front doors.

Along the route, Daniel and Boff performed in fields, farm yards, chapels, barns and orchards.

In story and in song, this is the story of what they found out – about the relationship between city and country, between wild and controlled, about land ownership, about why we’re drawn to wild places and about what we’re really running from.

BOXING HARES AND THE SPRING EQUINOX

OBSERVATIONS FROM ISFRYN | BARE KNUCKLE

Today is the Vernal Equinox and the start of spring.

Boxing hares to me are synonymous with spring so it was with surprise that I saw two hares square off and do the rounds in early October.

ISFRYN which translates from the Welsh as 'under the bank' refers to an area of ancient common land and neighbouring fields in mid Wales.

This is an ongoing project that offers an opportunity to capture extended moments - observations - of both wildlife and farming within the landscape they both inhabit.

You can visit ISFRYN here.

Unity House are currently in production on a one hour film about Salford singer/songwriter Ewan MacColl.

MacColl is best remembered for penning the folk standard ‘Dirty Old Town’ and the Grammy-award winning ballad ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’. But his legacy goes far beyond these much-loved songs…

‘Set the Night on Fire’ will tell the story of MacColl’s life and his varied career, with current folk musicians and close family providing new versions of his key works.

CAUGHT BY THE RIVER

OBSERVATIONS FROM ISFRYN | THE OWL

A FILM BY BEVIS BOWDEN

There have always been Tawny Owls here. Heard but rarely seen, it nonetheless has been a reassuring presence. I have counted up to six individual owls on a single night calling during the winter months.

Two years ago I bought an owl box and hung it in the large tree in the corner of the field.

This summer a single owl has spent the days high up in the canopy of the large tree.

Little appears to go unnoticed.

Filmed in mid Wales, July to October 2019.
