Alasdair, from central Scotland and now based in Glasgow, is a highly unique and singular talent who has, since 2001, released many albums of traditional material and songs of his own. He is incredibly prolific and a keen collaborator with a thoroughly open and forward-thinking approach. His collaborative work has seen him recently team up with the Norwegian band Volvur. He has also recorded and performed as part of a trio with Amble Skuse and David McGuinness and for several years been a member of The Furrow Collective with Rachel Newton, Lucy Farrell, and Emily Portman. His songs contain dense wordplay and his voice and guitar style are completely distinctive and individual. His solo performances are spellbinding experiences!

Bird Radio (AKA Mikey Kirkpatrick) is a singer, flautist, and composer based in London. He experiments with songwriting, extended flute technique, live looping and performance in different ways, collaborating with a wide range of artists and texts - recently he has worked with setting poetry by Walter de la Mare, Ted Hughes (his most recent album CROW was released in June 2019) and London?s Soho poet Jeremy Reed, and collaborated with artists such as Pig7 (electronics and field recordings), Akinori Fujimoto (Japanese Taiko), Nawroz Oramari (Kurdish Folk), Mosaic Band (traditional Sufi Music), John Bently (poet, singer, book artist and performer) and Emmanuel Lorien (experimental improv, Max MSP and granular synthesis).?

Buckner Building are Naomi Graham and Fritha Jenkins. They lead your ears to places not always easily located. Using violin, recorders, vocals and field recordings they make music that has been described as ?unsettling alternative folk? ? shifting between fragments of recognised traditional songs and disruptive contemporary interventions. They are drawn to the macabre, the melancholic, the outsider, tales of madness, upset, and life on the periphery.

They have performed as a duo in venues and festivals across the UK since 2010 and have performed and toured internationally in their individual careers.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
