Live recording from Shindig/Allographic gig with music from Wooden Arms

Hello!

It's been nearly a whole week since the Shindig/Allographic gig and I'm still buzzing. It was such a pleasure to be a part of and tremendous to hear everyone's powerful words set to the mesmerising music of Wooden Arms. I've been listening to their EP pretty much non-stop this week, it's a lovely soundtrack for the early morning mist as I head out for work.

Fortunately they will be gracing Cambridge again next month for a headlining gig on 14th Feb, you can find out more details here. I cannot recommend this band enough. As our hostess Fay Roberts wisely stated: their music makes you want to be a better person.


That is certainly true.

Ok, enough waffling! Here is the recording from my set (complete with awkward unscripted introduction!) with glorious underscoring melodies from Wooden Arms.
The piece is an extract from a spoken word play I'm working on and is currently untitled as it is a character monologue.

I hope you enjoy it.

'There Never Was A Neverland' and other stories

Hello!

I realise I have been rather useless at keeping this ol' thing updated so here is a mini-surge of information for those of you who are interested in finding out some more of what I'm up to.

Here is a link to the latest video for my poem There Never was a Neverland
Shot in beautiful 16mm black & white film roll by the very talented Tom Brookes

You should most certainly check out his showreel...he is very good.

So, I have a few more exciting projects lined up for the next couple of months so please keep your eyes peeled for videos and gigs are they emerge (I shall undoubtedly blather on about them nearer the time!)

:)
