There's a superb "Addiction" exhibition this weekend (Sat 15th & Sun 16th) at Sands End Arts & Community Centre organised by the lovely people of The Disabled People's Channel. I'm thrilled to have a film as part of this. I'm also doing a performance (by that I mean 'rant') on Sunday too. Come along

Thanks to Gwaith Sŵn for including 'somethings won't erase' in their Resonance 104.4FM & Resonance Extra show at 10pm tonight. You can hear this audio collage piece made from old pirate cassette recordings I made off the radio in the 1980s here: soundcloud.com/leonclowes/s...

The "nesting" music film I made for Open School East's 2022-23 exhibition was included in Transformation Project Show at Arts Letters & Numbers in New York this past weekend. An online exhibition is coming soon which I'll circulate once it's live.

I’ve been searching for the 1977 LP ‘Bernelle on Brecht and..’ for over 30 years. @discogsofficial.bsky.social suggested I might also want a 1981 EP of Brecht & Weill ‘Happy End’ songs by album’s producer Philip Chevron (best known for being guitarist in The Pogues). Quite right too. Worth the wait.
