A couple of weeks ago we spent two days work-shopping with the pupils of Broxburn Academy as the Shale People project got underway. To say this was a baptism of fire for us would be an understatement. About 120 pupils from S4 worked intensively over the two days researching material to inspire work on both our piece of work titled Clocking Off (for Broxburn Swimming Pool) as well as Andrew Crummy’s mural (in Uphall). Under the incredibly calm direction of the project leader Shirley-Anne Murdoch, we managed to unearth some really interesting material that we will work into the final design which we hope to paint in August/September.

Day One really was the information gathering day while on Day Two we had a much more practical hands-on session where the pupils designed and cut-out their own stencils. Thankfully, Shirley-Anne even was calm enough to arrange good weather for us as well to allow the pupils to chalk the designs in the school quadrangle! A tiring two days but thanks again to the pupils, staff and especially Shirley-Anne for arranging and organising this. Looking forward to painting (also handy to know we have a decent bed to sleep in when we are there - Fin’s brother Dunc very conveniently in Uphall … perfect for beer and steaks!)

Afraid to walk when it is not on water

The Inverness Streetscaping project has now been complete for almost a year and looking back it was perfect for us. We learned a lot with a bit of expert guidance from our good friend Matt Baker and the steadying help of Susan Christie.

To thank the participants in the streettext project, we held a small gathering for all the contributors on 29 April at Rendevouz Café on Church Street. This was at one time the old record store for us as kids. A place where we would buy the odd bit of vinyl, but more often than not cassettes of the latest ‘Now That’s What I call Music’ (for those of you under 18 please ask a real grown up what a cassette is…).

In true Highland style we have the impact of emigration and travel with contributors having moved as far away as New Zealand, the U.S. and even Devon. A bit difficult for these folk to be there on the night but they were not forgotten…

A great evening of music by the awesomely talented Calamatuer and food provided by Leisa, Andy and co at Rendevouz made for a pretty chilled out time – a big DUFI thanks to everyone who was there, who contributed and who made it all possible.
We were commissioned to produce a short film about Barron Taylor Street based on a piece of music by Calamatuer that had its premiere that night too – we will post it here shortly.
