‘Threaded through all four works and binding eras together was the songs that felt both contemporary and rooted in local grit. Their presence gave the performers a beat to move against - sometimes playful, sometimes heartfelt.’ - theatreandtomic.co.uk
The Ballad of the Crocodile and the Underpass
In partnership with We Make Culture and Washington Arts Centre, Paige wrote a series of original songs for this Podcast celebrating stories from 60 years of Washington New Town.
‘It is worth celebrating in this song-and-story series, the narratives from its residents and the original music by songwriters and instrumentalists.
If only all of the new housing developments were communities, moving artists and media to sing and tell them into cultural existence as an entities of their own. A must-listen.’ - Peggy Seeger
