A rich evening of song and story to launch this beautiful volume of Jehanne Mehta’s contemporary English folk songs inspired by seasons and legends, landscapes and heartscapes.
Hear the songs performed both by Jehanne and band Earthwards, by West Country folk legend Johnny Coppin, by Sophie Sterckx with the Painswick Community Choir, and more… and see the original illustrations by Stu McLellan on display. Spoken contributions from renowned environmentalist Jonathon Porritt as well as Jojo Mehta, co-founder of Stop Ecocide International with the story of how Jehanne’s songs helped light the way to a global campaign to protect the planet.
An inspiring intergenerational legacy and a unique and beautiful gift, the book is a practical score for the music stand with melodies and chords for playing and teaching, and also an illustrated jewel for the coffee table. Produced by boutique nature publisher Little Toller Books, it will be available in all good bookshops as well as directly from SEI.
Half of first run proceeds and all royalties go to Stop Ecocide International.
