14/10/2015

Today was the last of a series of African story sessions for Sunderland libraries as a part of their 'Black history month'. Finished on a great one with 60 yr 4 & 5 pupils clapping syncopated rhythms, dancing and joining in with the stories. That's that for another year.

Fire in the northern sky

11/10/2015

Last night I went to the Sage Gateshead to see the Adverse Camber production of 'Fire In The Northern Sky', epic tales from the Kalevala from the Finnish tradition.  Accompanied by music from the fantastic Finnish Trio, Suunta, storyteller, Nick Hennerssey, transported us back to the origins of the world and then on through its many domains and elements.  Epic heroes exploring land and sea, the realms of the dead and more, in search of magic, love and adventure in a world forged in fire.  Nick, one of the UKs leading storytellers, combines his words with a powerful physicality that makes this show compelling, exciting and brilliant.  The music of Suunta was incredibly beautiful, haunting and uplifting.  This show was fabulously bonkers,in a wonderfully Finnish way, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Working on the isle of jura

Just back from the fabulous island of Jura where we spent an extended weekend working with children for the annual Jura Music Festival. We started by working in the Small Isle School in Craighouse. This is probably the best school I have ever worked in. A primary school with one classroom and 12 delightful children that range from nursery to year six (ish). We have been coming to the school for the last 12 years and working on various projects leading up to the festival. This year we made lanterns that adorned the village hall for the main concert on the Saturday night. This years team, apart from myself, was the very lovely Karen Scott, Roisin Pharncote Row and Omi Pharncote, a joy to work with. You can see more of Omi's work by visiting her website
