Saltlines is an exciting new collaboration between acclaimed writer of The Salt Path, Raynor Winn, and unique folk collective Gigspanner Big Band. Together, they capture a moving portrait of the South West coast path in both old songs and new words. Raynor and Gigspanner Big Band beautifully celebrate the “630 uninterrupted miles of coastline, crossing wild headlands with the calls of oystercatchers, and the smell of salt laden air ever present” (Raynor Winn)

Winn came into prominence in 2018 with her Sunday Times best selling memoir, The Salt Path, in which the writer and her husband decide to walk the entire South West coast path upon finding themselves unexpectedly homeless.

Gigspanner Big Band is composed of some of the most high-profile names on the British folk scene, including Steeleye Span’s Peter Knight, Bellowhead's Jon Spiers and multi-instrumental duo Edgelarks. Their high-energy performances appeal equally to traditionalists and  those looking for something more experimental.
