Adventures in suburban poetry and sonic shapeshifting with Ralph Dartford and Gary Clark.
House Anthems is a collection of poetry set to music. The themes concern themselves with a lost England and a family tragedy.
Ralph Dartford and Gary Clark grew up together in the Badlands of the Essex Delta. They have been friends all their lives, but have not worked together in 40 years.
Ralph Dartford is one of our leading poets and a long standing contributor to ‘No Bounds’. His books, ‘Recovery Songs’, ‘Hidden Music’ and now, ‘House Anthems’ are highly acclaimed. Ralph is a commentator, critic, educator and agitator.
Gary Clark is one of the pioneers of the ‘Basildon Electro Sound’. He has written songs for Alison Moyet and had worked with some of the most influential British artists of the last 30 years in many guises.
Ralph and Gary will be joined by special guest, Alejandro Barnett.
