Down To The River

[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/200582234″ max_width=”900″][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”About DTTR”][vc_column_text]The exhibition takes as its source the poem, ‘Geordie,’ which features in Tom Kelly’s poetry collection ‘Dreamers in a Cold Climate’ (Red Squirrel Press).

Kelly reads the poem as Steve Thompson, musician, songwriter and producer creates a stunning soundscape. Photographs are by Kev Howard.

This work is centred on the North-east of England but could well be Chicago or Glasgow the impact is equally devastating and is all too soon forgotten by the powers that be.

‘Down to the River’ gives a voice to those made mute by history.

“Down To The River” is now available for further performances. The running time is roughly 30 minutes. We can add extra compatible program material or just run DTTR as a standalone performance. Please get in touch for further details. (click here)[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”128px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
