Project-ing Spoken Folk

Tobias has expanded my horizons a bit further. And this post notes the inception of a project. We can still call it Spoken Folk. So, carry on. Music enhances voice and words enhance music; together they help sustain and enhance life. This is the hypothesis, the big theme. There are two aims and an emerging timeline.

  • One aim is to produce a “show” that could hold an audience for 75 minutes and be performed in a studio theatre (Pegasus, OFS, North Wall) or upstairs of a pub (Whitehouse, Jericho…).
    We tested a 25 minute idea at Wood Festival (18 May 2024). Sam and I revised two of the pieces at Mrs Hendersons (29 May 2024).
  • The second aim is to produce an EP for online release through Bandcamp as a “fair copy” of the performance at Wood.

Looking ahead, we have a slot booked for 28 September at a benefit gig for Asylum Welcome and Donnington Doorstep at Caper family bookshop, events and activity space https://caper.fun/
