Mike O'Connor and Barbara Griggs

Mike O'Connor and Barbara Griggs Mike O’Connor and Barbara Griggs are great fun. They make music of breathtaking beauty on fiddle,

Mike is well-known for his evocative songs, such as ‘Carrying Nelson Home’ and his iconic folk operas ‘Cornish Lads’, ‘Unsung Heroes’ and ‘The Cry of Tin’. Mike is also a well-respected storyteller, with a deep knowledge of Cornish legends and folk tales, and a mesmerising skill with language, all leavened with wit and humour. An evening with Mike and Barbara is relaxed and highly entertaining, a

delightful blend of fact, fiction, and music that has been described as ‘balm for the soul.’
Their stunning performances have earned them a very busy gig list, taking Cornish culture to many folk clubs, festivals, and village halls across the land.

Huge thanks to Chris and Rebecca, and all the team at Forging Fantastical and Swindon Lit Fest. Great hospitality, a great venue and a great full house. The Prophecy of Merlin echoes down the years , and once again a historic message about Cornwall joins the dancing shadows in the room, leaps to the rafters, and echoes across the land.

Looking forward to performing The Prophecy of Merlin at Swindon Literary Festival on Saturday. Encouragingly - it's a sell out.
