'Stay Home Save Lives' song

Mar 28, 2020

A few weeks ago, I recorded a parody of the Pet Shop Boys/Village People song 'Go West' to encourage folk to #StayHome #SaveLives and #ProtectTheNHS during the COVID-19 Lockdown, as featured on the English Folk Expo website here.

9 months after watching @elly_lucas brilliant instructional video on making videos at home, I have finally upgraded my set-up!

Now to get busy... (and distract myself from Tax Return!)

Got a new song coming for your ears soon! It is partly based on an old folk song I found in the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library archive at Cecil Sharp House during my EFDSS Alan James Creative Bursary virtual residency.

And then this arrived today, so now I can make a better video for it too!
Camera purchased through a grant from @graeaetheatrecompany and @paulhamlynfoundation
Thank you so much!

I’m feeling very grateful for all the support I’ve received recently in these damn hard times. Stay safe, folks.

Anyone else in the same boat mentally this week?
Wrote this song & made this video back in the first lockdown but it fairly accurately describes my state this week.
Thinking of everyone working in the NHS & on the front line right now.

Apparently, it's less than a week since we released our little live video of 'Volcano'. It feels like it's been at least a year! Hope you're keeping safe and sane out there.

Here's a little clip of the video made with some of my pals from the @englishfolkexpo Artist Mentoring programme back in October 2020: @ladynadeuk @hollierogersmusic and @jordanjpw

I was very happy as I got to play a beautiful grand piano at @wraudio :-)
