A two-hour piece of words and music written
by JUDGE SMITH which tells the true and extraordinary story of the 1924 Imperial
Airship Scheme, a grandiose plan to link the colonies of the British Empire
with a fleet of Zeppelins; a dream which ended with the destruction of the
world's biggest airship, the giant dirigible R101, on its maiden voyage to
India in 1930.
This project, which I worked on for over two
years on and off, is now complete and available from curlysairships.com.
It is one of the most remarkable pieces of music I have ever had the pleasure
of being involved with.
Judge
has a new CD available called "The
FULL ENGLISH". I play mainly acoustic
guitar, with a little bit of electric
and bass. Another classic from one of
the UK's cleverest sonwriters. Watch
out for gigs later this year.
G.P.Hall is a remarkable guitarist who I met several years
ago when I saw him play at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. I did an interview with
him for the sadly missed Strangled. He is still making remarkable records
and his rare live performances are not to be missed. www.gphall.co.uk
GP has a new CD coming out on Bronze Records in December.
I play guitar on one track.
THE NEW MASTER OF GO
This
will be my next instrumental piece.
Based on the beautiful Japanese boardgame
which I studied many years ago. The
music will be guitar based. I have written
a film treatment based on the game of
GO which I hope to develop this year.(2006)
2nd part of the Japanese Trilogy.

My not-for-profit
organisation, THE LUMA GROUP,
is trying to raise £5000 to buy special
equipment called SOUNDBEAM to help
disabled people make music. If you would
like to make a donation to our project
please click the button below. Many thanks.
During the period
when Limbo was off-line I wrote a number
of tracks for a documentary about the therapeutic
work being carried out at Meanwhile Wildlife
Garden. The film is called With Nature
in Mind and was directed by Luke Pretzlik.
I have just completed
an excellent short course on using music
technology to facilitate workshops for
people with disability. The course covered
hardware such as SOUNDBEAM, Midi Creator
and purpose built software. THE
LUMA GROUP can now offer workshops using these
technologies.
I am now giving private
guitar tuition in East London. I cover
rock, folk, blues, electric, acoustic
and slide guitar. I also teach music
recording on home computers.
I have just returned
from doing a show in Guastalla, Italy
with Judge Smith. A wonderful time was
had by all and we hope to be doing more
shows in Italy, at least, very soon.

THE LUMA GROUP is
a new organisation set up to deliver
Arts based workshops to diverse community
groups. The workshops are delivered
by London based artists including myself
and range from basic guitar tuition,
drawing skills etc through to large
scale event organisation. We
have a number of prepared workshops
and we can create and deliver workshops
specific to the needs of your community
group.
We are also interested in taking our
work into corporate environments.
During the anti-M11 campaign The Roadbreakers were formed
to do a couple of fundraising gigs. We had a lot of fun doing blues covers
with titles that had something to do with roads or transport. One of those
gigs was recorded by Mr John Pridige and is now available through his own
Power Zone record label. John tells me that only 500 have been pressed! To
order a copy e-mail him at jpridige@hotmail.com
