The September edition will be a part of Hat District Heritage Lates at the Hat Factory celebrating the National Heritage Open Days with special performances which will reimagine the sights and sound of the town and the country that was into an audio visual poem. This event is supported by the Curating Luton Project.

He has performed live all over Europe, many of his performances have been in non traditional venues, often choosing to play spaces with character and interesting acoustic qualities, such as caves, churches & water towers.
