The life of a traveling musician has remained relatively unchanged throughout the ages. Whether it's a prehistoric harper, a medieval fiddler, or a modern guitar player, the experience is largely the same: there are moments of triumph and moments of struggle. However, it's not just the performance that can be risky; listening can also be perilous! Can you pause your dancing when exhaustion sets in, or are you obligated to continue until the music comes to an end, even if it never does? What happens if the music extends beyond midnight? What if it turns you to stone?
Pete Castle has curated a diverse collection of traditional tales from across the UK (and a few from beyond) to captivate musicians, dancers, and readers alike. These tales serve as a cautionary reminder to keep dangerous pursuits like singing and dancing at a safe distance.
