Robert Macfarlane

Wilderness Tracks // Timber Festival

Word-collector, mountain climber and perhaps our greatest contemporary nature writer, Robert Macfarlane (Underland, The Lost Words), delivers an eclectic selection with all the eloquence, warmth and wisdom that you would expect. Prepare for a diverse sonic exploration which reaches as much into traditional Gaelic folk-stylings as it does into drum and bass. Macfarlane knows how to keep a crowd enthralled and does it with deftness and ease.
