Amanda teamed up with Windrose Rural Media Trust from October 2012 - November 2014, combining archive films with local folk songs to create and deliver a unique and successful storytelling project. One hundred fresh arrangements of traditional songs were created and nearly fifteen hundred people reached at grass roots.
She researched the archives, co produced and performed in the eight project shows delivered across Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire. The beauty of the project was that each venue received its own tailor made show.
