I am proud to have been asked to compose and produce part of the soundtrack to a new original play at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. A FullFuse Theatre production, Sochi 2014 deals with Russian cultural and political attitudes towards gay rights through the prism of the recent Winter Olympics in Russia, and will feature clips of my music during several scenes.
The play runs from 1st – 10th August and from 12 – 21st August at 12:50pm each day at Bunker One of the Pleasance Courtyard in the centre of Edinburgh. Tickets can be purchased from the official Edinburgh Fringe Festival Box Office website.

John Ruddy Would’ve Saved That is available on iTunes, or on YouTube.

I am very pleased to have been asked to work with Year 10 and Year 11 students on the BTEC Performing Arts course at Wayland Academy in Watton, as part of the Music Arts Project programme in Brandon and the surround area.
The students on this course train in three areas on musical theatre – dancing, acting, an singing – and I shall be working with them in a Musical Director capacity, leading vocal rehearsals and taking charge of all the musical aspects of their work on this course.
