As part of The Spaces Between project we have been working with Creative Recovery participant and local published poet, Nigel Shaun Downing to look at ways of bringing his poetry to life and reaching new audiences.
After many years of writing to help soothe, express and document his own experiences, Nigel published his book, Life is Eximius Ordo, with Olympia Publishers.
Here is a sample of recordings he made over at Sight and Sound in Bolton upon Dearne a few months ago. It includes some spoken word and music collaborations, working with one of our resident musicians, Jonny Thorpe.
