Burning Bridges – The Story of Paul Burwell
Burning Bridges tells the explosive story of an artist who challenged boundaries and pushed to the most extreme edges of creativity. From the 1960s to the early 2000s, Paul Burwell was at the forefront of avant garde music and art in the UK. A founder member of the London Musician’s Collective and the Bow Gamelan Ensemble, Burwell and his collaborators played with the elements to blur the distinction between magick and art. But while many of his friends found creative success and fame, Burwell headed up-river literally and metaphorically on his own ‘heart of darkness’ journey, abandoning London for a new tribe in the post-industrial north, sinking further into his own vision and ultimately challenging death itself. Through rediscovered archive footage, sketchbooks, diaries and photographs, along with interviews with his friends and family, Burning Bridges is the story of an artist who knew no limits.

Luke Poot is an awkward nuisance, tape bungler, mumble mouthed northern light entertainment act of perpetually low calibre, a moronic delight, on occasion.
Yol is an artist working in performance, visual art and text. Found objects, mouth noise, mangled language. Starting points are space/situation, found objects, and self generated mangled text, explored alongside experimental vocal techniques. End point is broken sounds, broken words. Everything is an instrument, or nothing is, it’s hard to tell. INSTAGRAM
Together: Two indigenous Hullians, (FOR SHAME), if you don’t cry you’ll laugh. At the moronic spectacle, remedial fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun. Only one is still wears jeans.
