We recently participated in an evening of poetry, story and music in the Anglo-Saxon meadhall at Jarrow Hall in Northumbria.

You can listen to our gesið reading three Old English poems as part of the evening’s programme:

  • Cædmon’s Hymn,
  • Wulf and Eadwacer, and
  • The Ruin.

Alternatively a full set of videos of the evening is available on YouTube, with thanks to “Old English and lyre with Russell” for producing and sharing these.

Meanwhile, don’t forget you can come and meet the Companions at Dalbyology on 7th July in Dalby Forest, where you can hear more Old English poetry on request!
