“The Southbank by the River Thames is a beautiful place full of places that focus on arts, like the Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, The Queens Hall, Haywood Gallery, British Film Institute, National Theatre, Tate Gallery and Globe Theatre. A place to be social and meet friends and see stuff or a place to work.
I have fond memories of working at some of these places too, with various shows like Liberty Festival... Unlimited has had festivals here too. I’ve done sign songs several times with different festivals... Graeae did a couple of big shows with sway poles, like The Garden.
DAN did a protest outside LWT. When they hosted their first Children in Need money-raising event, we shouted ‘Rights Not Charity’ and ‘Piss On Pity’ here.
My heart, soul and creativity are embedded here.”
