Sing For Your Life  is a  musical menagerie with everything you would expect from a normal musical…  except the entire cast are dead.  It follows a group of  foul fauna attempting to produce a cabaret show from the animal underworld... and this week we've been making the puppets!!!     Yes! T he cast of have been scraped up, puppets made, dance routines mentally mastered and the songs  ARE JUST KILLER  Buy  TICKETS NOW! Expect  hilarious and unsettling  songs from creatures that have been given a new lease of death by my raw taxidermy skills.  A stab in the cheek mixed with sardonic borderline insanity, Sing For Your Life is probably not a family friendly show, so prepare to have your morals questioned.. .

At the grand old age of nearly 29,  I have work in a museum. Yes, a real life museum where people look at things through glass and say 'wow, isn't that amazing?'

It's official: The TAXIDERMY PUPPET SHOW MUSICAL is going to be really real 4-8th March 2015 GO! GO! GO! http://www.vaultfestival.com/project/sing-for-your-life/ Yes, finally- Tickets are on  sale  for an all singing, all dancing musical of misfortune. March 2015,  you'll be able to see the whole menagerie perform in a  twisted cabaret show featuring the entire cast of Farthing wood..  I'm not really sure how much of the story I should be giving away, but it's basically about a few animals putting a little show together. Heart wrenching, gut twisting stuff.   They'll be the worst puppets you've ever seen and songs that make your ears bleed...in a good way obviously.  Most of all. It will be Hilarious  If you have a sense of humour that extends further than the average persons mind.  ***  For a good few years I've been telling people i'm writing a musical. Well,
