To Arise From it Again

Another collaboration with Artist Paul Colbeck (this time in the form of slides) with hurdy gurdy player Philip Hardy, this is a 30 minute piece tracing the history of the hurdy gurdy with links to modern times. It tells the story of Henry Mayhew's 'Sarah' the blind hurdy gurdy player, taken from his book 'London's Poor' and consists of visuals, percussion, music, song and narrative, and was made especially for the Sheffield Festival.
