The Devil’s Violin
SINGING BONES

Sunday 21st March 2010

4pm

The virtuoso melodies on strings and accordion lay down an acoustic pathway for Daniel Morden's
deep old stories to travel along unimpeded, sweeping the audience in their wake. This is masterful,
theatrical storytelling delivered with great feeling for the dramatic pause, the dark imagery evoking
all shades of emotion from horror to joy, while the songs and stories continue to
resonate deeply in the bones of the listener long afterwards.
