"All Now Went Still" selected for special live broadcast from The Nest Collective

We’re honoured that our peace song for Ukraine, ‘All Now Went Still’, has been selected by The Nest Collective to be included in their live broadcast tonight as an offering to the nightingales - the national bird of Ukraine.

“Each year, for a short period in mid-April, a few thousand nightingales fly to southern UK from Africa. They can be heard in just a small number of special locations, taking up songful residence after dusk.”

The Next Collective’s special ‘Homecoming’ broadcast will capture this special moment and combine it with music and poetry.

*Artist call out* - seeking intersex singers, performers and musicians for intersex opera project

Writer/director Gareth Mattey and I are part of a global team working on a new intersex opera project, alongside a group of intersex activists, creatives and organisations.

A crucial part of the project is including intersex artists in the cast and on the creative team. In particular, we would like to hear from any intersex opera singers or musicians who may be interested in being a part of the project.

We would also very much welcome interest from intersex actors, dancers or singers/musicians from a non-opera background.

Please get in touch here or via email (amillsprojects@gmail.com) if you are interested to find out more, and we would be so grateful if you could share this call-out with anyone you think may be interested.

Thank you very much!

The project is supported by PRS Foundation and Help Musicians.
