TURNING POINT: Production stories (summer 2022) – Mildmay Community Centre in Islington…

Tony Thompson

Today at visit to Mildmay Community Centre, members gave feedback, listening on headphones to our version of the historc Barbados Work Song (c. 1780) – to be used in TURNING POINT’s soundtrack.

Bearing in mind we’re only at the start of rehearsals, feedback was wonderfully positive… we got 2 ‘lovelies’, 1 ‘it’s good’, 1 ‘really good’, several nods and smiles, and 1 ‘it’s catchy…’

I liked hearing the ‘it’s catchy’, best – because it came from the only Bajan. But this was closely followed by ‘it’s lovely’.

“It’s lovely” really sweet me up, though. Because i was sitting at her table to try and bring her luck in the bingo as i promised – but my powers were off today.

Didn’t stop another table asking me to join them for bingo next week…

Thank you all, all over again …!
