#Arachne5 Party: videos for Stations

Posted on by

We had so much fun at the party on Friday. The quality of the live video (find it on Facebook) is a bit ropey so here is some better quality!

Here are Summer All Year Long singing the song from the original launch party for Stations, Sweet Train Roll Softly based on (the much better) Sweet Thames Roll Softly, by Ewan MacColl. We had a different arrangement originally, by Peter Morgan, but an almost entirely different choir membership and very little rehearsal, so this is Melanie Harrold‘s arrangement (more or less) which we learnt more recently.

And Bartle Sawbridge reading the middle section of Rich and Strange, the story he wrote for the Shadwell stop on the journey the anthology takes from Highbury and Islington to West Croydon.

As part of our 5th anniversary celebrations Stations is available for a bargain £5 from our web shop.

We are crowdfunding for Solstice Shorts Festival 2017 DUSK. help us reach our target!

Just briefly, the launch of Stations at the Brunel Museum was huge fun, here’s a snippet of the song we started with to keep you going until I’ve edited the video/ audio, for that, and the readings at Deptford Lounge and Canvas & Cream from last week.
