Christmas Champions was originally written for BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction. Now a live multimedia show, commissioned by The Sage Gateshead and featuring BBC Folk Award winning duo Chris Wood and Hugh Lupton joined by The English Acoustic Collective and Olivia Ross. This is a performance that mixes the recorded voices of past generations with ritual theatre, seasonal song, storytelling and music in a celebration of England’s most enduring midwinter custom: The Mummers Play.
