“I write songs. Sometimes as one-off commissions, sometimes as content within a theatre show, often unaccompanied but sometimes in collaboration with musicians.
You can hear more of my lyrics and song writing by visiting The Greyhounds Bandcamp.””
Blackpit Aqueduct Angel
Commissioned by Calderfolk for Hebden Folk and Roots Festival
Calder Folk was an illustration and music installation project inspired by the folklore and place legends of the Upper Calder Valley.
There were five foldable booklets created for this project, each with a specially created map, poem and illustration inspired by place legends from within the Upper Calder Valley for you to use to roam the hills and explore the valleys that surround us here in Calderdale.
These maps were used to find both the outdoor artworks created and hidden in the landscapes of the Upper Calder Valley and also the place legends they reference.
A specially commissioned musical work was also presented on each of the outdoor artworks via a QR code for you to experience in situ with the artwork using a mobile device.
Five musicians/ bands were commissioned for the project.
