MUSICAL

MYSTICAL

WILD

The Daywalkers Collective is a Live Music & Theatre company. With members coming from Cornwall, Hong-Kong and the East Midlands, we stumbled upon one another in London and discovered a shared love of folk music and caring for the wilderness.

We have been working on our latest show ‘The Snare & Feral’ for the past two years. We have performed as part of Amplify Theatre Festival at The Nottingham Playhouse, Engine Rooms at Omnibus Theatre in Clapham and had an amazing time pitching our show at Beam2025 at The Birmingham Hippodrome this May.

We love to share our work with others and host FolkTale events showcasing our original music along with other up-and-coming folk musicians in the music and theatre industry.

The Daywalkers have a big year ahead! We plan to record and release some music from the show, develop creative workshops to bring to charities and educational institutions and recently began work on a brand new show! Keep your eyes peeled and get in touch if you’d like to hear more.
