Goodbye for now!

 I will be taking some time out from this blog and a few other things, as I am going to have a baby next month and imagine i'll be pretty busy!

To mark my last performance for a while David Birchall, Dan Bridgwood Hill (DBH) and I performed for a few friends last Saturday in Longsight, Manchester. It was a really lovely evening to pause on. Here are a selection of photos from the night courtesy of Andrew Brooks, to see all click here http://www.flickr.com/photos/multisensory/sets/72157632696773978/

Gemma Lacey has written a great post about the night which includes her own drawings of the performance http://gemmalacey.wordpress.com/2013/03/04/drawing-to-music-thats-made-to-drawing/#

Drawing Sessions # 2 - Liverpool Biennial 2012

A performance in which I drew in response to live improvised music by David Birchall & Dan Bridgwood Hill. This took place at Drawing Sessions # 2 as part of the Liverpool Biennial 2012 at Camp and Furnace. Drawing Sessions # 2 was an incredible 12 hours of participatory drawing event involving the public, artists, performers and musicians created by Drawing Paper http://drawing-paper.tumblr.com/ and The Royal Standard. http://www.trs2.co.uk/
