Melissa Harrison & Laura Cannell in Suffolk

On a beautiful day in May, the novelist, nature writer and podcaster Melissa Harrison and the composer and multi-instrumentalist Laura Cannell take us for a walk in the glorious Suffolk countryside.
Laura plays a recorder duet with a nightingale, Melissa reads from her acclaimed novel “All Among The Barley” - appropriately enough in a field of ripening barley - and we hunt for barn owl pellets “like dark Kinder Eggs” as Melissa has it. Then Laura takes out her fiddle and - using her distinctive “overbowing” technique - plays music inspired by ancient traditions and a deep sense of place.
