Barry
Patterson
How do you put across the idea of
caring for the environment without talking down to people? The Wild
Man of the Woods is probably the widest traveled Green Man in
Britain! The show explores our changing relationship with nature
and the landscape through songs, stories and humour - ancient and
modern.
He's been promoting natural history and local distinctiveness with
considerable passion from Sunderland to Torquay, from Sherwood
Forest to the inner city since 1991!
You can find Barry Patterson's
website at songandstory.co.uk and his Podcast is
hosted on Soundcloud with a link and
credits on his songandstory website.
You can also get in touch with
Barry on Facebook or Twitter @wildmanofwoods.
Huge Thanks to our Guest
Actors
Damh the Bard
Damh is a modern-day Bard whose
spirituality, and love of folk tradition, is expressed through his
music, storytelling and poetry. Drawing on the Bardic traditions
his performances are both entertaining and educational, weaving a
tapestry of myth, peace, and anthems that speak directly to the
heart, but never without a good splash of humour.
Damh is a musical storyteller who
works within the world of myth that cannot be proved; where the
Faerie really do dance on Midsummer's Eve, where the trees talk,
and the Hollow Hills take you into the realms of Annwn. Where the
Goddess rides her horse, guiding you to magic, and the Horned God
of old calls us from the shadows of the Greenwood. [source]
Damh is also the relaxed voice
behind Druidcast, the podcast from the
Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD).
You can find outmore about Damh
and his work on his website at paganmusic.co.uk or on our
Contributor page.
Cerri Lee
Cerri Lee is a multi-talented
visonary artist who can turn her hand to almost anything creative.
She is inspired by nature, and the ancient Pagan myths and legends
of many cultures, her beliefs as a modern day Druid as well as
those around her. She can create anything from Rights of Passage
gifts and altar pieces to wedding and birthday gifts, and will
happily take on commisions. Each piece of artwork she creates is
individual and can be personalised to you or your loved ones. Her
artwork has been used for album covers, featured in leading Pagan
magazines, used as tattoos, and her sculptures are sent throughout
the world.
Cerri is equally in her element
when she is up to her elbows in clay or painting one of her
fabulous pictures. She is partner to Druid musican and long-time
supporter of our show, Damh the Bard and can be found
supporting him at many of his performances. You can see a gallery
of Cerri's artist work on our website at Cerri's Gallery and you can find out
more about Cerri and her work on her website or on our Contributor Page.
