Gentle Giant – Memories of Old Days (Stage 1)
Titchmarsh Primary School Library – the ‘BFG’ & Roald Dahl Storybook Murals 13.3.15 I’ve altered my ‘song title = blog title‘ habit this time and decided to include the group to whom the track belongs as well, the combination of the two couldn’t be more apt.

Instant Karma!
Titchmarsh Primary/Warmington School ‘Sharing Day’ Mural 18.10.13 ‘I wrote it for breakfast, recorded it for lunch and we’re putting it out for dinner’ The words of John Lennon, and the story, as he told it, about how the song ‘Instant Karma’ was produced.

Blinded by the Light?
Artist in Residence Workshop at Titchmarsh Primary School 27.6.13 Blinded by the light? Absolutely not. The children of Titchmarsh School weren’t phased by it at all.
