The Selfish Crocodile
Blunderbus Theatre Company
Deep in the forest, by the banks of a great river, lived a large crocodile. He was a very selfish crocodile and he wouldn't share this river with any of the other creatures. He thought it was HIS river! So, the animals stayed away.
But, one day there was a terrible scream - the crocodile had a toothache. Nobody dared to help him, until a brave little mouse appeared, and found a clever way to solve this snappy dilemma.
Based on the best-selling children's book by Faustin Charles and Mike Terry. This is a funny, heart-warming take with a very happy ending which reminds us all that the smallest act of kindness often has the greatest impact.
Blunderbus use song, music and a host of handcrafted puppets to bring this watery adventure to life. This is a must-see for 3-7 year olds, their grown-up's, and of course, anybody with a pet crocodile.

The Wall Street Journal
Daimh
This group are immensely talented with a live energy rarely rivaled, Daimh (Dive) offer a fresh, up to date approach to traditional music.
An exciting combination of musicians perform high energy, fast-flowing mixture of tunes, fusing together their individual styles on bagpipes, fiddle, banjo, guitar, bodhran and mandola to create a unique and compelling sound.
Spiers and Boden
Described by The Guardian as "the finest instrumental duo on the traditional scene"
and twice winners of the BBC Radio 2 folk award for Best Duo, John Spiers and Jon Boden have made the genre of spontaneous, punky English folk very much their own stomping ground. Loud, proud, and with just a few acoustic instruments, they create a multitude of textures upon which they present traditional stories and dance music which are as much at home on the main stage of Cambridge Folk Festival as they are in a lock-in at the local pub.
