ordinary extraordinary

Lene Lovich was the singer I saw as a kid on the tv and realised that ladies were allowed to be weird and funny, were allowed to leap about like monsters singing strangely. Last week Lene popped into The Playhouse Bar, we know each other a little, but this time she gave me a brooch, "Give this to anyone you know who might commit suicide, it will keep them safe." Will do Lene. Two days ago I went to a meal in London and was placed in a seating plan next to Robin Millar one of the world’s most successful ever record producers with over 150 gold, silver and platinum discs and 55 million record sales to his credit.We chatted, Robin is blind and hears your truth through how you speak your words. I'm making a point of noticing that I have spent time with these inspiring and quite ordinary extraordinary folks.

we rarely work in isolation

We rarely work in isolation....just thinking about all the folks who have helped make the book, there is a community of Butchers who have laboured. We were starting to put a budget together for our next show and realised that our team was growing from a band of 4 musicians in a small van to a troupe..........the troupe makes a whole new world for folks to live in.....a big cheers to the troupe.
