THE Devil's Violin is a rip-roaring telling of Gypsy tales through a dynamic combination of live music and spoken word.

Storyteller and author Daniel Morden joins forces with musicians Oliver Wilson-Dickson (violin), Edward Jay (accordion/guitar) and Sarah Moody ('cello) to perform long-forgotten Gypsy tales from Wales and elsewhere, with music inspired by the passion and energy of the Gypsy tradition.

The performance will 'travel' from Eastern Europe westwards to Wales, with the stories and music reflecting this 'journey'.

Adults and older children alike will enjoy this magical piece which fuses the best elements of storytelling, traditional music and theatre.

Daniel Morden is one of Britain's foremost storytellers and has most recently toured Wales as part of The the Sleeping King storytelling show seen in Narberth last year.

The Devil's Violin breathes fire at the Queen's Hall, Narberth, on Thursday, January 25. Doors open at 7.30 pm. Tickets are £7/£6 members, £4 children under 16, and are available from Span Arts on (01834) 869323.
