On being part of The Soundscape Poetry Project:
‘It’s thrilling to be engaged in a venture which takes such a unique and innovative approach to collaboration between poets and musicians. Culture Recordings are at the cutting-edge of contemporary artistic expression, and it’s great to see a project like this making a significant and vibrant contribution to the spoken word poetry scene in the UK.’
