A portrait of Trev ‘The Pianoman’ Woodison, one of the last remaining traditional pub piano players in the UK. He's on a mission to keep the art of pub piano alive. Playing piano in pubs is no ordinary gig: Trev never knows what he's going to play until he turns up on the night, it's up to the audience to choose and for Trev to improvise on the spot. This audio piece invites listeners to join Trev down the pub as he explains what it takes to be a pub piano entertainer.

Chapter one of a three-part audio fiction series with elements of folk horror and magical realism.
“Don't let this die. Don't let us die. Because I'll never forgive you if you do.”
Phil Ainsworth is 54 and deeply sad. He is preparing for the annual village Beast Hunt. For hundreds of years, the men of his family have led a march in to the woods in search of a mystical pig-like creature. But for Phil it is a time for reopening old wounds and coming face to face with the reason for all his sadness.

In The Dark What’s New: Saltwater Soul

"Saltwater Soul" is an experimental audio documentary that’s really close to my heart. It dives into the world of sea swimming in Brighton, seen through the eyes of a passionate swimmer. The documentary mixes the peaceful sounds of the ocean with the lively atmosphere of protests against pollution by British water companies.
Creating this piece was a personal journey for me. I even started writing poetry for the first time, which you’ll hear throughout the documentary. It’s a mix of the calm and joy of sea swimming with the serious issue of environmental threats. My hope is that it not only shares the unique experience of sea swimming but also highlights the importance of protecting our waters.
