Midland Aquaphiliacs Returns
This is quite advance warning but stick it in the diary now. After a scratch 'performance lecture' at Battersea in January the finished product will return on May 16th - 17th during Burst festival.
Over the last few years I've been on a personal quest, travelling around Birmingham meeting residents of Britain’s most landlocked city who keep images of the sea on their walls.
Combining portrait photography, recorded conversations and a bit of end of the pier charm this touching show will pick you up like a good sea breeze.
Here are some comments from folk who saw the scratch night (no they're not written by mates)
'I really enjoyed your show! You are a very warm, enagaging performer'
'really enjoyable, moving and humorous'
'I thought your show was briliiant - brilliant! Seriously, what a great brain child it was. So inspiring, positive, beautiful, there should be more stuff like it out there.'
Bear in mind I could be doing this for the love only if i don't get a grant...So cough up!
The new version is likely to feature some good old folky numbers (and me singing) depending on which musician i can persuade to do it - unfortunately the wonderful Alfredo Genovesi will be indisposed.
So there, you read it here, no excuse not to come now is there?
