BBC Radio 2: Talking about hearing voices with Jeremy Vine (May 2021)

A clip of me being interviewed for the Shaun Doherty Show (Highland Radio) about Voice Collective - support for children and young people who hear voices or see visions.

Rai on Highland Radio 15.04.14

Recorded live at the SoundHive Social at Duffy's Bar, Leicester and mixed by Chris Ilett. It's not perfect, but it hopefully gets the vibe of my latest song across.

Always Making Promises

This is a small feature about Voice Collective - Mind in Camden's young people's hearing voices project that went out on BBC Radio 1. It raises awareness of voice-hearing in childhood and adolescence and the support we receive from Children In Need.

Why do People Hear Voices in Their Heads? - The Why Factor

Meet Rachel Waddingham and meet the voices that inhabit Rachel’s head: there is three-year-old Blue who just wants to play with other children, 11-year-old Elfie who is easily offended and a panel of three critical scientists. Peter hears a voice that dictated an entire children’s book to him. Around 2% of people claim, like Rachel, to be inhabited by voices with whom they have full blown relationships. Are they all sick? What causes people to hear voices? And why have some psychologists changed their minds about the dangers of colluding with the voices?

The Why Factor

BBC The Why Factor: Why do people hear voices in their heads?

I love to write a cappella songs ... for one thing there's no pesky guitar to drop/fall over/mess up. Beyond that, they give me a sense of freedom. This one is linked to that sense of claustrophobia and panic that can rise up in response to this crazy world we live in (and the crazy things we do in it). It's about finding a way to break through - to speak up - and to hide away.

Mad Girl's Love Song

Breathe Tonight

I wrote this song walking back, late at night, from the pub. There's a longer story beneath it (buy me a pint and I might share it with you someday), but the cliff notes are that it left me thinking about what it is that I'm trying to run away from - and where I'm running to. This world is mad, and getting madder by the day ... I'm not the only one who feels it. Sometimes I want those feelings to stop (just for a little while).

Sugar Makes The Madness Sleep

This song speaks to that sense you have, as it gets light, that a powerful and beautiful moment is going to fade with the morning. The wish to keep it as it is ... but knowing that things change. Relationships are not that easy to navigate when you're a singer/songwriter (and probably even worse if you're the partner of a singer/songwriter).
