Today, 'The Passerine' (meaning songbird), directed by O'Hooley & Tidow and produced by Shrewsbury Folk Festival, came together exploring each others cultures through music, drawing on the refugee and migrant journey. Although we, of ethnicity, are used to collaborations as such, this is something completely new for 'Shrewsbury Folk Festival' audience and I think they will be in for a surprise!
