Synopsis

In twelve succinct tales a vivid collage is built up of a district of contemporary London. Out of its shops and cafes, therapy groups, hospices, tower blocks and life of the streets, voices and colliding patterns of reflection emerge to evoke characteristic joys and griefs, or perhaps mere quotidian irritations, of a motley populace - gay, straight, single, partnered, caring, alienated, mendacious or occasionally honourable to a fault. Simon Burt has composed a pop album of his time and place with the pricision of a classical symphonist.
