CANCELLED Aerial presents: The Lark Ascending
Creative TouristFresh from the Barbican, an evening retelling Richard King’s acclaimed book, The Lark Ascending, featuring Vashti Bunyan, Richard King, Deep Throat Choir and Westmorland Orchestra.

The evening will be punctuated by readings by Richard King from his book – a pilgrimage into rural Britain in search of its musical identity.
