Kate Davis and friends at MIND. Anecdote and experience, and the lure of the Voice.


 After a week away we were back at MIND in Furness, listening to pieces of each other's 'homework' and burrowing deeper into what music is, where it takes us, and what is the thing that hooks us. 

For some  it's a mood created by a sound in the right place and the right time, a soundtrack a shared one-off experience, or a route to a peaceful feeling. For some its a voice singing with quiet conviction. 

We are working towards a single piece that will take our listeners on a tour of the intimate spaces in which music goes to work on us. Some of these are public spaces, spaces in which we might feel alone and  vulnerable, or connected , confident, unstoppable.

The work mingles anecdotes, reportage from clubland, evocations of  feeling and states of grace. 

The atmosphere in the room is warm and generous, the talk is interesting, the writing is touching, empathic, funny, full of sharp observation. 

Sue brought chocolate. Thanks Sue.
