The Funny Terns
To enhance the Festival element of our event, we are looking forward to welcoming comedy duo, The Funny Terns, to the stage for an afternoon of musical entertainment.
Expect adult songs made child-friendly, tips on how to be greener and some familiar tunes set to the twinkly-twangly sounds of Angus's banjolele.
Natalie Fée (founder of City to Sea and author of How to Save the World for Free) and Angus Barr (director, theatre-maker, comic songwriter and environmental activist) are a husband and wife comic duo singing songs about the environment, relationships and anything else they find funny. Together they are attempting to bring about personal and planetary healing using only cheap stringed instruments and their voices.
Natalie Fée is an award-winning environmentalist, author of How to Save the World for Free and Do Good, Get Paid, speaker and founder of City to Sea, a UK-based organisation running campaigns and behaviour change initiatives to stop plastic pollution at source. Natalie set up City to Sea in 2015 and it's gone on to become one of the UK's leading environmental organisations combatting plastic pollution at both grassroots and government level, through award-winning campaigns. She started writing and performing comedy songs with Angus in 2016, and is currently signed to Disruptive Element Records for her first solo folk album.
Angus Barr is artistic director of Publick Transport whose productions include ‘Discombobulated’, ‘Very Hard Times’, ‘The Dept. of Smelling Pistakes’ and the critically acclaimed ‘We Are Brontë’. Over the years he has collaborated with Desperate Men, Gonzo Moose, and Ridiculusmus. He toured his solo show “Ukele Banjo Warrior” from 2010-2015 before meeting Natalie and performing with her.
FUN FACT: Natalie first heard about Angus when someone sent her a video of a guy on stage singing a song about plastic bags. She instantly had a professional crush on him, stalked him (in a nice way not a weird way), and they ended up getting together two years later.
