I'm looking for new theatre work! Fresh from Giant (my opera which sold out at The Linbury) I'm on the lookout for new projects. I'm a composer and sound designer creating original notated music, electronic scores, music machines - anything to do with sound and music on stage.

We’re excited about Sandwell Creates launching with a jam packed period of activity including Sandwell On Air, our pop up radio station starting next week in partnership with Radio Stall Public Dreaming

At a time when government cuts have forced Birmingham City Council to cut virtually all arts funding, the loss of the beautiful and unique Electric Cinema to property development is a particularly cruel blow to the city's rich cultural life.

We are saddened to hear about The Electric. We must ensure that the history and heritage of our towns and cities are protected. We will continue to advocate for that along with you all. More information on a public meeting and petition below. 👇

Culture is a huge part of my life, but also plays a part in every single persons everyday life. From listening to the radio to watching Netflix to going to a concert hall or theatre, culture is all around us and #culturematters .

What's happening to the arts in Birmingham is horrendous and heartbreaking. Is there nothing we can do to stop this?

I’ll be there as the The Writers' Guild West Mids rep. Come join me and bring a placard!

Campaign for the Arts NCA Liz Clements Defunding the jewels of Birmingham's arts and culture like the Ikon Birmingham Royal Ballet CBSO The Rep and Birmingham Opera Company brings to mind a piece I wrote back in 2011 for the The Spectator: ‘Cutting the arts and decimating culture’. Nothing has changed.

I’m not in Birmingham atm, but seeing all the love for the city’s culture reminds me of all the reasons I have loved it since starting to go to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery & Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) as a child: it’s about identity, passion, curiosity and the unexpected #CultureMatters

Culture Matters!
The role of a producer, is someone responsible for creating, curating, or managing cultural content or experiences, plays a crucial role in fostering a vibrant and dynamic cultural landscape.

I’m lucky that culture plays an important part in my life whether it’s Stewart Lee Bits Belgrade Theatre this weekend or Fierce next. It’s heartbreaking to see the impact of culture cuts across the whole sector and the long term damage this will do #CultureMatters
