Sunday Song

Leave a comment

During lockdown, song songwriter Tanita Tikaram is posting an acoustic song every Sunday

in case you are forgetting what day of the week it is.

This Sunday, Tanita was joined by illustrator, James Mayhew, who interpreted the music while Tanita played. Have a watch (and listen).

James Mayhew #StoryTime4HomeTime

Leave a comment

This is a brilliant opportunity to see a fantastic artist and storyteller.

Everyone loves good storytelling, and James Mayhew is a wonderful storyteller and artist (with a lovely collection of ponchos).

James is posting a series of stories on YouTube under the tag  #StoryTime4HomeTime . Sometimes James draws the story as he tells it – come see the amazing upside-down drawing man! – and sometimes he uses stories that he’s written and illustrated himself.

Each post is about 10-15 minutes long and should be suitable for everyone who appreciates a story, but might be especially useful for wee ones.
