SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF 2013

 

Started 2013 with a "Ditty for Bradford City" on BBC's Look North.

 

I've been treading the boards again, this time as a guest of Paper Zoo Theatre with a touring dramatized version of Dickens' "HARD TIMES". This will return in 2014 I made my annual appearance as Strolling Minstrel to the Otley Walking Festival, on Monday 24 June. We strolled around some Otley pubs making lots of music.

 

Did some music for ACT's summer production of "MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM" at Bradford Cathedral.

 

And sang songs on a boat in a second "Multi-Story Water" project on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. Have a look at the new short film about Bradford Beck featuring my song.

 

Had fun with comedians Jolly Mixtures at Saltaire Festival and at Ilkley Literature Festival Fringe 2013.
