Wendy and Michael Dacre

Wendy and Michael

Michael tells traditional tales in a powerful, lively and literary style, that is entertaining and well researched, embracing a love of language and strong narrative, which is sometimes scary, often hilarious and usually both.
Wendy is a singer with a powerful, evocative and distinctive sound, and a repetoire specially composed, collected and chosen to weave magical threads of song through the texture of Michael’s tales, echoing the seasons and the landscapes of the natural world and the human soul. They’ve been telling together for 16 years.

strange and magnificent stories, Michael has long been recognised as one of
Britain’s most articulate, witty and lively storytellers – he will weave his
dark but glittering tapestry of powerful words and haunting images – this is
fine, vigorous storytelling, conjuring a magical spell for modern ears.»
