There are so many roads and so many journeys – the long and winding road, a road to nowhere, the road less travelled – many have been celebrated in song and in verse. For travelling musicians, life on the road holds its own ephemeral images of voyage and discovery.

In a long-honoured tradition, itinerant minstrels moved through the landscape using carts, carriages and portable stage platforms. Now we modern nomads roam the world in buses, trucks and planes.

The themes are always the same. From “Where are we and what is there new to see and learn?” to “What is there to eat?” We are all too familiar with the trundling on the highways and byways through the middle of the night, with lights flashing and a sign that says we are only 2,000 miles from our destination.

I have invited my fellow travellers and musical companions to sit around the table with us and share their voices, as it was with those tales that knew a thousand and one nights.

In the end, we seek to deliver a musical experience that in many ways resembles a lovingly prepared meal. Of course we would like to think it a feast, but that is not for us to say. What I do know is that the music is not complete until we have broken bread together.

Welcome to our table! Partake of our journey. LM
