Join us for an evening of connection, creativity + local talent. Tickets drop Friday.

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

I’ve ended up with a spare standing ticket for the Alan Menken evening gig @
The Palladium this Sunday - anyone fancy taking it off my hands? Cost £55 but happy to let it go for £30!

Getting ready for another Sunday evening on @jorvikradio.bsky.social spinning the best in jazz both locally (Yorkshire) & globally.

What should I have my ears on this week?

What is it that you do?

It’s a question I get asked a lot. The simple answer?

My week is a mix of facilitating, coaching, arts administration & (lots of) creative problem solving.

I would say they are the four key areas I work in if I was to zoom out and look at it from a macro level.

Two days ago my much loved Nanna passed away. Yesterday I got on a flight to Poland to visit my in-laws (getting on that flight was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do but my mum & grandad insisted I still go). 🧵

Here’s a reel as a way of introducing myself.

It, of course, showcases the work I do but importantly it also features many of the wonderful folks I get to work & collaborate with. Truthfully, that’s the real joy of working in the arts for me. Creating and sharing things with a wider community.

Some of my favourite projects of recent:

1. Composer - Ratship Cabaret (aPlottment Theatre)

2. Workshop Leader - Deep Listening Workshop (The Attic, Leeds)

3. Soundpainter - Cabinet of Dr Caligari (The Storytelling Ensemble)

4. MD - Beauty & the Beast Panto (Anton Benson Productions)

This is extremely helpful as newbie on here! Thank you @artsprofessional.co.uk

If you’re also new and looking for folks talking about the arts then go hit follow on this list!

It is so lovely to reconnect and follow theatre and music folks who I used to follow on Twitter/X.

I hadn’t realised just how little of their content I was receiving. Finding all the folks I used to follow on here feels like coming out of a rabbit hole & back into a meadow full of creative wonder!

If my echo chamber is mainly people who love musicals then I’m good with that. Everything I know about life, I learned from musical theatre.

Hi there, I’m Joe!

I’m a musical director, composer and arranger working in theatre and jazz.

I’m looking to connect with:

• Performers/Actors 🎭
• Writers ✍️
• Musicians 🎶
• Directors & Producers 🎬
• Creative folk 🧑‍🎨
• Artists 🎨

I am so excited to have a platform like this once again!
