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.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
