The British Postal Museum & Archive: An Evening of Music, Art and Film, March 27, 2014

I was delighted to be invited to perform at an event for the British Postal Museum & Archive on March 27, 2014.

The event was a fundraising/networking event to support the plan to open a new Museum & Archive. The evening featured screenings of the Night Mail film, highlights from the collection of GPO posters and PR posters, and live music.

The Aldwych Sinfonia (comprising three violinists and a cellist) and I gave a live performance of Night Mail during the evening.

Many thanks to Scott Anthony and Sarah Jenkins for the invitation, and to Olivia and the musicians at Aldwych Sinfonia.

PoetryFilm at Supernormal Festival, August 8-10

PoetryFilm has been invited to curate a programme for the Supernormal Festival in Oxford.

Supernormal is a festival like no other, providing a powerful antidote to the current malaise of festivals-as-big-business. Blurring the boundaries between art and music, performer and audience, it champions the iconoclastic and the experimental, allowing risks to be taken and leaps of imagination to occur. Somewhere in spirit between the original Glastonbury Fayre and an eccentric village fete, Supernormal is the alternative’s alternative.
