PLYMOUTH! How I love you. Thank you for selling out my first headline show and thank you for asking me to sign your chip forks and thank you for perfectly illustrating that:
1) The West Country is the best place in the world.
2) The Wild Rover goes so hard every. single. time.
3) The sight of a crowd smiling and laughing and dancing to live music, which we’ve been doing since the dawn of time, is something that AI can never replace.

My debut EP is out now! EVERY CLOUD 4EVA. 🌥️

Next month! Battle of the Dying of the Light runs at @37looestreet - an epic war fought for the remains of the last whale.

It’s an art exhibition that’s actually a piece of durational theatre. There will be noteworthy moments throughout, worth coming to see, teased here in the schedule. So pleased to be working with so many wonderful practitioners of all sorts on this, a recklessly ambitious project I’m excited to share.

I’ll be doing lots more posting about this so bear with, and hope to see you for some of the events.

JOIN US AT THE BUREAU FOR A LUNCHTIME BITE

Start your week with us in the Bureau for our new series, Bureau Bites. These informal, 45min online gatherings are open to all, whether you’re a postgraduate student, a heritage manager or a senior consultant. Keep an eye on our LinkedIn account (link in bio) where we’ll post a link to a short text (30 min read) the week before we meet. We understand how dynamic, energetic and enterprising (ie busy) we all are so please join the conversation even you haven’t been able to make time to read and reflect in advance. Readings will be a mix of websites, blogs, reports, excerpts from academic papers.

The aim is to reconnect us with our communities of practice and to create space for the kind of thinking we might not be able to do on the daily grind. We invite participants to start a light-touch reflective journal to help document these conversations, which you may find useful in your work.

✨Monday, 12 October: Does heritage really matter?

✨Monday, 9 November: When loss is more!

✨Monday, 7 December: Beyond engagement? Art, heritage and placemaking

✨Monday, 11 January: Strategies, frameworks and plans – why have them?

✨Monday, 8 February: Nothing ages faster than the future

✨Monday, 8 March: Place, landscape and more-than-human interventions

✨Monday, 5 April: ‘No, I don’t want to do workshops with NEETs!’ Beyond instrumentalising heritage

✨Monday, 10 May: Not another toolkit! Working with creative approaches to unblock cross-sector heritage research, management and policy

These gatherings also mark the start of ButCH’s journey towards being a business partnership and soft launch of our redesigned website (still in progress)

Chorus for a full moon.
Jessica Akerman and Clare Charles.

Singers, swimmers and bystanders came together a few hours before the moon appeared on 27 August, to experience Chorus for a full moon.

Starting on the shore, we sang together and to the sea. Then, as we continued in voice, half the group moved down the steps into the sea, continuing to sing back to those on land as they became immersed. In the last movement, the swimmers slowly returned to shore, the swell of voices rising together again, resonating around the rocks.

We wanted to explore connection through song and the sea... what happens when you take a song from the land to the water?

When we told those assembled we wanted to perform it somewhere where the sea would be an active participant, we were not expecting it to be so vociferously active. It was very choppy and churny, a noisy presence bringing its full moon energy to the event.

Thank you to everyone who came along, gave their time, and were willing to go on a choppy journey with us. Particular thanks to members of Seaweed in the Fruitlocker choir and Plymouth Climate Choir. And special thanks to Sefryn Penrose and Angela Piccini for selecting our work for Bathing Places and helping us realise it.

The Bathing Places programme runs until 26 September at 37 Looe Street, Plymouth.

Included here are images of the broadside we produced to accompany the performance; an illustrated songsheet, showing the rhythmic push and pull of laying low and rising above, held by a strong pair of hands. It feels fitting that the steel hands have started to turn rusty in the maritime humidity, edging back to the condition the salvaged sheet was in before Jessica formed it into hand brackets.

A forever changing set of material reactions and cycles, back and forth, lay me low, rise above, wash in, wash out.

I’m incredibly honoured to have my series Her Feast featured by @peopleofprint !!!

A heartfelt thank you to Marcroy for his thoughtful and perceptive critical response to the work. It means so much to see the series understood and discussed with such care.

Her Feast was previously exhibited as part of In Between at @37looestreet in Plymouth. Seeing the series come to life in a physical space was a truly magical experience. I’m deeply grateful to Angela @aapiccini for all her support, and to @oliversonline667 for curating the exhibition and bringing everything together! Exhibition photos by @bofan.psd

🐋ANNOUNCING🐋

Battle of the Dying of the Light
🕯️🤖🐟
A play across 14 days at 37 Looe Street
By Sam Machell
In drawings and objects
Beginning Oct 23rd
Concluding Nov 6th
With the help of friends
And the dance of light over day and night not always witnessed
And words
🎭

When the last whale falls the mad scramble for its corpse will threaten everything. Will anything make it out alive? Or will the technoscavengers snuff out the little light that remains?

Full synopsis and schedule coming soon.

“They’re not quite sure but beginning to remember / It’s there. Another moment of candle light / Caught between glances / Like a raindrop / Lover? I’m here”

Swim Litany: a score and a performance

Swimming is something that I do, it is part of my life, and I fit it around other things – weather, work, travel, health. Senses of rhythm, of repetition, of the social activity of swimming are evident in the printed poster and in performance. Interruptions to the rhythm and variations in the text record the impact of the rest of life on my swimming, while the writing acknowledges my appreciation of access to safe water and my physical ability to swim regularly.

Performance:
1800hrs (6.00pm) on Thursday 27th August 2026
at 37 Looe Street, Plymouth, PL4 0DQ
as part of the Bathing Places exhibition.
