The Devils Violin

We had a fantastic evening out at Llanfyllin Workhouse. We went to see

THE DEVILS VIOLIN

The devils violin is a mixture of Roma gypsy music and tales from Wales and beyond. Performed by storyteller Daniel Morden and the band. Web site link below :

The evening started with instrumental performances which were filled with passion. Then the storyteller began with myths and legend funny and scary story's. The first story was of a girl who had befriended a witch The Leaves That Hung But Never Grew did she find love ??? The tale was first written in Denbighshire by a group of gypsies called the Woods.
Here is an interesting link of gypsy history http://www.valleystream.co.uk/romhome.htm
More tales were told during the evening including the Herring king. A tale of mystery and fantasy. The storeys were told with a passion I cant described. They were backed by the instrumental band that created a wonderful atmosphere for the storyteller.
It was a fantastic show which I would recommend to all.
