The Ancient Technology Centre, in Jay’s home village of Cranborne, is a truly fabulous place where reconstructions of ancient buildings, from the Stone Age to the time of the Vikings, are brought to life by a dedicated team of historians, architects, builders and volunteers.
 
‘The Earthouse’ is just one of these incredible constructions. Inspired by excavations that took place on the Isle of Man in the 1960s, its floor is sculpted right into the chalk bedrock and at its heart are 21 oak trees which support its immense earthen roof.
 
It felt like the perfect setting for our music and stories and we’re so grateful that for this special concert, Lee MacKenzie was able to join us with his trusty cello, ‘Godfrey’, to bring some fabulous new string arrangements to proceedings!
