Gemma Khawaja @ Wild Traditions

Gemma Khawaja is a singer, musician and theatre maker with work deeply rooted in the traditional songs, stories and folklore of Britain.

She is known for her powerful, expressive singing and thoughtful interpretations of traditional song, alongside original material inspired by mythology, rural life and local history.

For half of the evening, Gemma will share a selection of traditional songs, accompanied by guitar, dulcimer, tenor guitar or singing unaccompanied.

The second half features acclaimed Crooked Timber Theatre production, Up Jumped The Crab: A Story of Cromer Now and Then. Wordless, magical and full of character, this enchanting miniature puppet production combines recordings of traditional East Anglian folk music with handcrafted puppetry, visual storytelling and gentle humour to celebrate the lives of crab fishermen of North Norfolk and the heritage and folklore of the coast.

Gemma offers a unique and captivating evening where traditional music and storytelling meet. 

Wild Traditions is a monthly happening with a guest concert with singing and tunes sessions.
