PINK TOES


Pink Toes, the musical theatre piece based around songs I have written, is a fragile masterpiece staring Alicia Cubells and written by David Ncube...



We are filming a 'secret' performance of it this Monday, November 8th in London at The 12 Bar Club on Denmark St WC2 8NL This will also be somewhat of a warm up gig for the coming DAVID GARSIDE/ART TERRY UK TOUR which begins on November 14th... http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=148984358475404



I wrote in an earlier blog that the best songs often tend to be the sad ones. Pink Toes investigates this phenomenon via music and performance. Afro Dave Ncube’s insight into the music (which is mainly taken from the Anutha Kinda Brotha album) is poignant. His script follows a relationship and how it is disconnected and connected not only from and to the songs but what is actually surrounding us in our singular and shared relationships...



Pink Toes explores the dreams of couples, male and female, rich, not so rich and poor, sexual and non-sexual, sane and mentally ill, promiscuous and platonic, co-habiting and living apart, married and un-married, present, past and future...



It asks the question of us all - Can we find away to be together? Since this is what everyone secretly or openly truly wants...



I have tried to write this song over and over. It took Alicia and David to bring it to life.
