Warrior Blues

An old soldier sits alone with his guitar, composing songs. He is a survivor of the war that should have ended all wars. The songs are inspired by his experiences on the field of battle, and by his adventures during the long journey home. As he writes, he remembers the events which inspired the songs.

Warrior Blues takes a story which is nearly 3000 years old, and retells it for the 21st centu-ry. Eternal themes of love, magic, violence, conflict and revenge infuse the new story, just as they infused Homer’s Odyssey.

Warrior Blues is written and performed by Bob Pegg, and directed by Andy Cannon. Bob Pegg is a storyteller, musician and author who lives in Strathpeffer in the Highlands. Andy Cannon was the Creative Director of Wee Stories from 1995 – 2011, and is now a free-lance storyteller and writer.
