Projects I'm involved with bringing the stories, songs and power of nature into public awareness
My work as an artist stretches into many many areas as a creative thinker, artistic lead, director or consultant. I’m fortunate enough to have been involved in many varied and groundbreaking projects over the years that have brought the importance of nature, bird song, heritage, environmental sustainability, nature access and respect into the cultural sphere and at times the mainstream
Organisations I am closely associated with and work closely with in their actions and campaigns are:
Music Declares Emergency, COP 27 – Culture COP, Right To Roam, Extinction Rebelion, Friends of the Earth, RSPB, Writers Rebel, WWF & WeWilder Romania
The projects I have worked on that I am most proud of are:
Let Nature Sing (RSPB 2019 reaching #18 in the music charts)
English Heritage – Songs of England
A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square – April 2019 Spring Uprising Closing Ceremony
Almost Invisible Angels (Writers Rebel 2022)
MDE – Ongoing No Music On A Dead Planet Campaign & Radio Show on Soho Radio
