Folk in the Wild: Samhain Special is an eerie evening of ominous traditional folk and dark acoustic arrangements celebrating Samhain and the macabre. It is organized by Folk In the Wild and brings together the trad folk duo Joshua Arnold & Therine, known for their foreboding take on traditional English folk music with hurdy gurdy, harmonium and floor tom behind Therine's commanding voice, alongside Naiad, the new folk project led by box player Lily Penrose.
