• I’m writing a musical…

    Wally Square…about WOMEN and SPACE and DISMANTLING THE PATRIARCHY.

    I’m workshopping it this week with some brilliant Musical Theatre students at Leeds Conservatoire. I’ll be joined by my fab arranger and co-composer Jenna Dyckhoff and ace MD Jess Douglas for a couple of days too – a powerhouse team.

    When I have something to share I’ll pop it here, or take to my twitter @helenarney to get updates as we go along!

  • Unnecessary Detail is everywhere…

    A Podcast Of Unnecessary DetailHappy New Podcast Series Day!

    Finally, the second series of the podcast that fears no detail is out today with “FLUSH AND FORGET”, an episode about siphons, sewers and streams, with a song from me about how no-one really knows how to flush a toilet.

    To listen, search for “Unnecessary Detail” wherever you get your podcasts and subscribe, or click here for all the episodes in Series 2 so far (and everything from Series 1)

    We’ve also got a couple of live shows next week at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre, on Thursday 7th and Friday 8th April. If you’re back into attending live events, we’d love to see you there, though the Friday night is nearly sold out so you might need to be quick…

    Tickets and line-ups are over here. 

  • Synthesizers, Science and Symphonies this month

    As the world gets a bit more back to normal (and our lockdown baby passes his 18 month semi-birthday) I’m off to Cardiff to present this incredible one-off concert with the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble and BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

    The music is all about Archimedes, the mathematician and inventor of ancient times, and I’ll be looking at his achievements as well as the myths that have built up around him over time in between each piece.

    Tickets for the concert on Friday 26th November 2021 are available here, or you can listen out for the broadcast on BBC Radio some time soon after. Check my twitter and facebook for broadcast dates when I know them!
