Things on Radio 4 - and free songs to download
|
|
It's like buses. You wait 30 years to do a thing on Radio 4, then two come along at once...
This morning I'm reading out the first lines of famous literary works - from Kafka's Metamorphosis to Hargreaves' Mr Fussy - in a Radio 4 feature produced by the excellent Mr Steven Rajam:
Last month I was nail-chewingly excited to write a new song for the Cheltenham Science Festival edition of Robin Ince & Brian Cox's comedy science mashup:
The song I played is called "The Sun has got his Huff on" and you can download it for free from my Bandcamp page, if you haven't already:

London's premiere comedy night for the fearlessly inquisitive is back! We'll be monthly again from September with me, Matt Parker and Steve Mould and a host of very special guests.
Tickets for our new season at the New Red Lion Theatre will go on sale at midday on Monday 11th July.
Festival of the Spoken Nerd always sells out! So if you want in, join our mailing list at FotSN.com or follow us on Twitter to hear about tickets before anyone else.
We're also taking FotSN to Edinburgh, Green Man Festival, and the British Science Festival in Bradford - our website has all the deets. |

The Balconettes - new video and adornments
|
|
|
|
Last week, Rachel Parris and I did our first few gigs as a twosome since our drummer, the spectacularly busy and brilliant Danielle Ward, left The Balconettes to pursue all the awesome things she's already doing. Our newest songs are on YouTube here - including a near stage-invasion at the end. Bizarre.
If you're at the Edinburgh Fringe you can catch us at the Musical Comedy Awards showcase on Wednesday 10th August, 9.50pm at the Underbelly. Tickets are here.

Thanks for reading this, as always. I won't send another one of these until late September, once Edinburgh is over and a few new things are fixed up enough to tell you all about them.
In the meantime here's a few extra things which I love but am not actually involved in. Go find them!
- Clare Blackman - singer-songwriter from Essex has a beautiful EP out now.
- Can You Dig It? - two of my favourite musical comedians (Jo Stephenson & Dan Woods) in a single show. It's about growing vegetables. It's at Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden throughout August. I've not seen it yet but it's bound to be completely win.
Have a brilliant summer and do keep in touch - I'm on the email, just hit reply. And on Twitter @helenarney. And on Facebook, but - seriously - does any check that any more?
Cheers, and stay well,
helen
