Writing
I have been commissioned to share my ideas and learnings in writing - and love doing this.
Selected examples of previous publications are below and read my blog here.
Churchill Fellowship
In 2020, I published the findings from my Churchill Fellowship, which explored inclusive music programs, venues and festivals which actively engage disabled people. The report and associated articles are available here.
