The Village Square (7pm)

Join us for our first in our House Concert Series at Juniper Common in St Andrews. A cosy night in our space welcoming renowned musicians and storytellers.

We have just announced a 7pm show due to the 5:30pm show being sold out.

The Village Square, set in an imagined town some years ago (as all good fairy tales are), is a narrative of love and loss, misfortune and mirth, the graceful and grotesque. 

Featuring renowned cellist Zoe Knighton, award winning guitarist/composer Robbie Melville, and the charismatic and much-loved Richard Piper as The Narrator, the fables sparkle with the magic of traditional mythology.  

In The Fruit Mechanic, the engine of an obnoxious tourist’s thunderous motorcycle is transformed into silence by an artful greengrocer. In The Fog, a thick cloud descends upon The Village, sending the entire population into a deep sleep until The Dogs discover a way to rouse them. Kind And Sorrowful tells the story of a young man who is saved from drowning by the River Spirit with unforeseen repercussions. 

Evocative, enchanting and above all, human,  The Village Square is a captivating combination of music and spoken word.

"Watching this trio doing what they do best was incredibly moving, simple, and held us in a wisdom that was immensely deep yet light as a feather. This show is a gentle lullaby to the world in pain. Re-enchanting the extraordinary within the ordinary" - Holly Rowan, Heartland Reviews 2025
