Harold Sanditen Open Mic

 

I was so excited to be asked to contribute a song to Harold Sanditen's Open Mic party this month. The full evening's entertainment was exceptional, and well worth a watch! The youtube video is above. If you want to skip ahead to the mash up of On The Street Where You Live and Don't Get Around Much Anymore I performed with my pianist Matt Wakefield, just click the facebook link below!

Watford Fringe Festival 2020!

Since 2017 the Pump House has hosted the Watford Fringe Festival, and each year since its inception the festival has grown in size and significance. 

This year for the first time I've created a reviewing blog which hopes to provide a platform to archive and reflect on the wonderful creativity inspired and supported by the the Watford Fringe Festival. My reviews obviously reflect a personal opinion, but I hope they also offer a chance for people to continue the conversation around the myriad and marvellous performances the Watford Fringe provides space for. I won't be able to review every show, but I will review as much as I can. Please do click the link below and have a read!

After a tumultuous few weeks and months of updated protocols, new legislation and unclear messaging from central government, it's a genuine delight to see that the Watford Pump House team have managed to rally together through all the pandemic pandemonium and keep Watford Fringe Festival 2020 on the road! So a massive thank you is due to the Pump House and Fringe Festival teams, as well as all their volunteers and supporters, for making the seemingly impossible possible and keeping the fringe alive this year. It has, I'm sure, required a huge effort to ensure all safety requirements have been adhered to and multiple online platforms generated to allow us to come together as a town and celebrate creativity in this way. On behalf of the entire Watford creative community, THANK YOU!

Much love, Alex
