BRUTAL ASSAULT 2025

I've been meaning to do a highlights reel for my Brutal Assault festival experience for aaaages, better late than never!

Shout out to @jameshumphries2 for providing elite hangs. We flew out to Prague in August 2025, jumped on a train to Jaromer & had 4 epic days of relentless riffs. Seriously well run festival, keen to return if future lineups are as stacked as this was.

Here are my edited highlights, enjoy!

Heartbroken to announce that after an 8 month long battle with cancer, my wonderful mum @elvamakins passed away earlier this week.

She was an incredible actress, playwright & director and her creative passion in her field was unparalleled.

She touched the lives of so many people. Gone far too soon. She will be missed forever.

Yesterday evening was incredibly special for our family.

Over the last couple of years my wonderful mum @elvamakins and @kasperballetcornish have composed and released @themcsongbook which is a fantastic collection of witty and heart warming musical theatre songs.

Kasper, being the absolute HERO that he is, organised a live performance of the MC Songbook at a small theatre in Waterloo so we invited our closest friends & family. So grateful to all of Kasper's talented team who absolutely smashed it!

Unfortunately Elva couldn't make it, doctor's orders, but we filmed the whole thing and she'll get to watch the final version soon which I'm sure will be emotional!

There was an overwhelming amount of love in the room and it was so good to catch up with everyone. Definitely a night we'll never forget.

Finally, just a gentle reminder that @reubenpinder and I are running 10k in December to raise money for Breast Cancer Now and are closing in on hitting our £5000 target. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Your support means the world.

Donations of any size are much appreciated.

KALOS is officially released today! It's been a long journey to get to this point but we're delighted to unveil our new EP!

When you have a spare 20 minutes, have a listen from start to finish through your best headphones & speakers! If you enjoy the musical journey, it would mean the world to us if you could connect with FRAKTIONS on the big social media & music platforms, share the EP to a friend, leave a comment on YouTube etc.

The reception for Devotion has been fantastic and we're immensely grateful! Now we need your help shouting into the digital world to expand our fanbase.

Big up everyone who has supported @fraktions over the last 10 years.

💚🤟🎹🤟💚
