Wild Britain

Where and who does this one-hour musical journey visit?
Shetland, a creature in Loch Ness, a Roman soldier at Hadrian's Wall, Ireland, Snowdon in Wales, a wizard at Alderley Edge, Robin Hood at Sherwood Forest, a Sussex woodland, a Cornish mermaid in Zennor, and Land's End - the beginning of the world...

Where will the live performances be?
Plans for 2026 concert performances include a launch at the Edinburgh Fringe in August, followed by all 10 locations visited in this musical journey. In 2027 further performances are planned in other locations around the U.K. More details soon!

Fundraising details
All live performances will be ticketed, and will be given without a performer's fee. There is an allowance for essential expenses (up to a minimal limit agreed with UK-Med), and all narrations have been contributed without fee.

FINANCIAL HELP NEEDED
- a note from Laurence:

I need financial help to set up and run this concert series. I am only covering essential expenses, I am not taking a fee for any performance of 'Wild Britain'.

Based on estimated average attendance numbers for these concerts, plus worst-case scenarios for expenses (accommodation, publicity and venue costs are the highest), I need £200 per concert (in addition to the agreed box office margin) to cover these expenses.

If I can reduce these costs (e.g. private accommodation, free use of venue, etc.) I will of course do so, and any surplus with be carried over to future dates. When I am no longer touring this programme, any surplus will be given as a lump sum to UK-Med.

If you feel you can help, do please CONTACT me (click this link to go directly to the Contact Form) and I will let you have bank account details. All individual private donations will appear on this webpage - if you don't wish to be identified, it will appear as 'anonymous'. Thanks ever so much!
