I'm not a Springsteen fan but am behind anyone who opens a tour with "America...is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy...to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!”

The stool is finished! It's a collaboration with furniture maker Daniel Pateman, reworking an organ stool from a church in Lullington that has been adapted to tilt the seat toward the keyboard. Here, the stool has been further adapted to reflect the musicality of the surrounding landscape #organ

I'm making an organ stool with furniture maker, Daniel Pateman. Taking as its starting point a church stool which has been adjusted to tilt the seat toward the keyboard, we've further adapted the design to reflect the surrounding landscape - dip slopes, combes, windswept hazel...
