I dislike audience participation. I think It’s creatively bankrupt, ethically questionable and if I see it mentioned in the blurb for a show, I will not attend due to moral objections and/or personal discomfort.

Anyway. I’ve written something about that and it’s got just over 200 parts. So…

Collaborator was conceived specifically to be performed in the round and is re-written a bit for each particular venue. This will be something between the 4th and 7th staging and maybe the eighth rewrite and,I have to say, it’s getting quite good.

Susan has spent the last few years honing her craft as a solo performer. A songwriter of hidden depths, with a timeless voice that is equal parts balm and blowtorch, she is audacity personified, a free spirit, a real performer.

Since the release of the critically acclaimed collaboration album with Mick Flannery ‘In The Game’, Susan has toured extensively across Europe and North America, performing both with Mick and solo on headline tours, festival stages, and as an invited guest to an array of artists including Phoebe Bridgers, Valerie June and The Teskey Brothers.

This will be the Belfast release show for Susan’s new album ‘Now in a Minute’.
