Geoff Polly Polly Geoff


I've done a lot of really interesting stuff around music with writer Geoff Cox, including the music for his play The Price of Land with Mike Willoughby and Damo Rose, and the work involving MIND In Furness on the Into The Music Project. So it seems a good idea to do a bit more. We met up with Polly Wilkinson yesterday afternoon to get a new piece going on the relationship with music , souvenirs and memory. 

I met Polly during the exhibition run, she was guitarist in Barrow rock band Blaize. To her amazement, she now plays the Accordion.  I knew Polly and Geoff would have a lot to say to each other, and if I'd got it together we'd have a picture of the two of them. As it is, the plan is to gather a sample of Polly's diaries and memorabilia and use it to launch a collaboration. There'll be room for cross referencing with other people, their diaries and the stuff they wont/cant get rid of. Thanks Polly, good fun that.
