I'm currently looking into getting it spruced up. Having a link to the 60 million pound debacle that is The Public in West Brom might not be how i should be selling myself! No disrespect to all the people who have tried to make it work but i think there has to be a stage where someone says it was a bit of a mistake.

The more time i spend there the more i want to go back. The island's started to really get things moving again with the festivals attracting the young and beautiful, even to come down and live. Talking with family who were around for, and quite involved with the original 68-70 festivals, has revealed how quickly public opinion changes.

Playing every wednesday in April at 11.15pm (and on listen again) ,this is the radio version of Intimate History that was commissioned last year.

A two month stint of 'the rice show' has in the states was, in the appropriate vernacular, awesome. Since then more outings to Cornwall and Zurich have been similarly successful. The show was brought down by Kneehigh whose dedication, friendliness and connection with local audience was inspirational.

Last night we went to see Israeli 8 piece band, 'The Apples' that were funky as dogshit. The name isn't all that good but the combination of tight-assed brass-led funk and hilarious scratch antics nearly took the roof off.

Read em and weep.

It's been great to be here but at times a bit frustrating. When the show has poor attendance (which is rare these days) it can feel like a strange Beckettian experiment, wheeling 12 tons of rice around for hours on end for no-one to see. A bit of detective work and it's discovered the press officer has quit - if nobody knows the show is on how is anyone supposed to come?
