Well...what an undertaking. The Imagined Village project is a bold one on CD alone - to undertake such a project live is an even braver prospect. But, that's exactly what happened Saturday night on Stage 1 when the project came to life in front of a rapt Cambridge audience.
With arguably the most people on stage at anyone time in the Festival's history the musicians included Eliza and Martin Carthy, Sheila Chandra and Billy Bragg (resplendent in a memorable Marmite T shirt). One of the highlights for the audience was when the line-up were joined onstage by dub poet Benjamin Zephaniah who also appears on the project.
What a colourful experience involving amazing musicianship, visuals, narration and much more. A real night to remember!
