Prepping for a week in Canterbury, workshopping "The Unstoppable Letty Pegg - the musical" with @nymt.org.uk... the dream is coming true! We have an amazing young company, director, choreographer, MD and more in the room - plus a Q&A with Letty's book-mum @iszi.com.

Get ready for LONDON CHAOS!

ncredible scenes!

I applied a second (final) time for a DYCP grant from @artscouncilengland.bsky.social and... I got it!

From September, I'm developing my bookwriting skills for youth companies & coming up with new ideas for British Musicals to nurture towards production over the coming years 🙌

Digging into the Science Museum archive today, and found this: an original notebook of Hertha Ayrton’s research into fans 🪭

Also found a Suffragette Society letterhead being used as a bookmark in a science journal 😝💪🔥

Hertha Ayrton Fan Club assemble! We have some big things coming soon…

Throw back to June 2023 when we sent "Unstoppable" from The Unstoppable Letty Pegg into the Stiles+Drewe Best New Song Prize... and Sienna Aurora Clarke sang it in the final concert! 💁‍♀️ 🥋 💪

Now we're about to workshop the rest of the show based on @iszio.bsky.social's book with @nymt.org.uk 🤯 🤩 😲

Kid's publishing people, and adjacents!

I've written a draft of a kids picture book text in a genre I'm calling GIANT SQUID MAGICAL REALISM.

My 4 year old and 8 year old like it, but does anyone want to have a look at it?

Sharing brilliant news that @jennipinnock.com and @mackenwells.bsky.social are part of Lincoln Arts Centre's 2025 Innovate Artist intake!

Can't wait to work with local talent to bring @firebrigademusical.bsky.social to life here - one of our Fire Fighters is Lincoln-born Charlotte Scott! 🔥🔥🔥

It’s one of those days… After a quick email exchange this morning, you can tune in to More Or Less on @bbcradio4.bsky.social tomorrow morning at 9am to hear me sing a topical new version of a popular nerdy song… 🤓

Some tix left for 1.30pm show, but only TWO for 7.15pm... Get in! 👩‍🚒🧯

This was a delight of a gig to be part of on Sunday!

Talking (and singing) about Space Animals with the OAE at Kings Place in the morning, followed by Nine Lessons with @robinince.bsky.social in the evening.

I slept all day Monday, obv…

Having the BEST time hosting @sundayassembly.bsky.social Yule Rock 2024 at @conwayhall.bsky.social

Beautiful community, wonderful night (plus a welsh mystic horse head costume that I don’t have enough characters to explain here… 🐴)

LET IT GOOOOOOOO!!!!

Absolutely beaming all the way to Glyndebourne to watch Sussex choirs sing my new carol “Christmas Magic” for the first time!

All thanks to the legend that is composer @lucyarmstrong91: the Sullivan to my Gilbert, the Menken to my Ashman, the Lin Manuel Miranda to my Lin Manuel Miranda… 💪

When your gig tonight is in a fancy hotel ballroom BUT the bathroom floor tiles are as nerdy as you are… 🤓

Back in my once-a-year office…
@fotsn.bsky.social at Cambridge Theatre for another night of Unnecessary Detail 🤓

I don’t have the name list for that photo so I can’t say for sure as my memory is dreadful and there’s conflicting info online… but she is definitely leftmost on this one:
