A powerful reimagining of British folk, rooted in our country’s radical history and inspired by Bradford-born Julia Varley, who devoted her life to improving the working conditions of women and was jailed twice for her protests. A 5-piece ensemble weaves together rich vocal textures, from traditional British folk songs to fearless jazz improvisation, to tell stories of empowered and subversive women.
