Trade winds at THE TRADESMANS ARMS, SCORITON

We’re hoping to have a selection of voices from the haunting new anthology based on tales and experiences and things that go waft in the night in Berry Pomeroy Castle ruins. For the uninformed, Trade Winds is the ever popular Dartmoor acoustic night for poets, singers, musicians, storytellers & wandering bards of all kinds. It’s in the bar and it’s free and everyone’s welcome to take part, or to listen. Ably mc’d by your host, Simon Williams, with occasional interruptions from his partner in poetry, Susan Taylor . Note to the beer drinking folk - The Tradesmans Arms is in the new CAMRA guide and also has a full menu to enjoy in a remarkably convivial setting.
