Recently I composed the music for a brand new BBC4 series curated by the wonderful Mark Gatiss (Sherlock / Dr Who / The League Of Gentlemen) marking the 50th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the U, called 'Queers'.
The project is a series of 8 monologues set between 1917 and present day, and features some spectacular acting talents (Russell Tovey, Gemma Whelan, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Front ...)
Here's my theme song for the show:
You can view the show for the rest of the month on BBC iPlayer, and I'm told BBC America will be showing it sometime soon!

Spring clean time, so here comes #choreographebay! I'm auctioning off some of the 'Choreography' shoot items, some out of print releases and some other items with 10% of final profits going to ACLU Nationwide and 10% of final profits going to Pride Cymru, two charities I've supported earlier this year.
Ebay sales will start at 9PM GMT on Thursday 25th May.
Each item comes with a signed postcard thanking you for your support and donation, and offers you one ticket to a BLBL headline show of your choice - redeemable at any point, as I know I don't always get to everyone's town.
Let's have fun with this, and raise money for some good causes on the way!

So recently I announced my debut Atlanta and Nashville shows, which I am so excited for!
6/23 I'll be playing at Aisle 5 in Atlanta [tickets]
6/24 I'll be playing Nashville Pride on the main stage [tickets]
and then on July 7th I'll be playing my largest headline show in NYC to date at Music Hall of Williamsburg! Every ticket purchase gets a free exclusive CD EP. PLUS on the 8th, the following day, it's my Romy & Michele Tea Dance from 3-8pm in Brooklyn which is free, so it's a real weekender event! [tickets to MHW show here]
See you all soon!
