Just been reminiscing about the project 'One Last Look' i made with Talking Birds last year. Click here for a full film of the 20 minute tour as we took people around the Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital to mark its' closure.

Highly emotional and a right laugh, the perfect combination. It was a joy to perform, something like 16 times in 2 days?
See here for a taster of 'To Be King' from Intimate History that features Derek's sublime cello arrangement played brilliantly by Matt Sharpe.

Overheard conversation walking to the mainstage on saturday night in a crowd with a few fancy dressed types -
Oi! Fucking Al Qaeda! How come you hate christians so much?...Oh sorry mate you're not Al Qaeda, you're a ninja.
I could go on but i'm too chilled to bother - man.
