Sam Lee: Singing with Nightingales and Walking in the Dark | Folk on Foot Classic

Join folk singer, countryman and Mercury Prize nominee Sam Lee for a magical journey into the woods of East Sussex — featuring songs inspired by nature, reflections on deep listening, and an extraordinary nighttime encounter with a nightingale. Sam invites Matthew to experience one of his silent night walks, guiding a group into the forest in pitch darkness to hear him sing in harmony with the nightingale’s song. The next day, they retrace their steps in daylight, reflecting on the power and meaning of this mystical experience.
