Join Not Quite Light for an eclectic mix of delicious music and field recordings… This month I make a final visit to the house of my late nana, just before it’s finally sold, after being in the family since 1958. I record the sounds of the house, and my feelings as I say goodbye to somewhere that has been part of my whole life. Music features tracks by Pefkin, Loula Yorke, Anja Garbarek and Harry Seacombe… LISTEN HERE PLAYLIST
Join Not Quite Light for an eclectic mix of delicious music and field recordings… This month I take a look back on 2023, the year just gone. Originally broadcast live just after Christmas, this show features music and soundscapes featured during the past twleve months. It was quite moving, and also inspirational, to hear the sounds I recorded last year, providing a provocative reminder of the life I experienced. Sounds from Manchester, Salford, Hull, Paris, Portugal and Poland. Music featured […]
I recently took photographs which have slightly evolved Not Quite Light in the city. I’ve begun to seek out spaces which are ostensibly public, and which yet are unsettling in the twilight. Often they are areas used for leisure, or green spaces, but that were once industrial areas, now reclaimed for other uses. The initial three photographs from this collection are now exclusively available as limited edition prints via the Saul Hay Gallery in Castlefield. They can be bought in […]

In the stillness of the half-light, everything is exaggerated. […]
THIS PHOTOGRAPH IS AVAILABLE AS A LIMITED EDITION PRINT, EXCLUSIVELY VIA SAUL HAY GALLERY… There was a sign on the railings of Whitworth Park on Denmark Street, that quite clearly stated that the park would be locked up at dusk.But when is when is dusk? The winter sky was awash with fading streaks of yellow and orange and rich, slate blues, and the density of trees in Whitworth Park had already cast the grounds deep into shadow, surely dusk? But […]
THIS PHOTOGRAPH IS AVAILABLE AS A LIMITED EDITION PRINT EXCLUSIVELY VIA SAUL HAY GALLERY It’s not the clock that sets our feelings towards any particular space, it’s light, or indeed the absence of light, that sets that particular agenda. And now that it’s winter time, when dusk falls across the end of the working day, our familiar paths home become shrouded in darkness, altering our perceptions of known places. And so we tend to gather around around light. On a […]
