Magical stories from the North Yorkshire moors : Becky Mills time-travels through folklore, family, love & loss - weaving a keen wit and beautiful playing into a very English alt-folk show
Written between 2015-2018 the songs bring to life some of the extraordinary true-life stories researched from Becky's family history, going back across many generations.
Cut through with the superstitions, folklores and mysteries of the North Yorkshire moors Becky calls home, “Tall Tales and Home Truths” is rooted in a strong and magical sense of place, where the wild moors suddenly meet the sea and the promise of a potentially different life beyond.
