Horns of Fire, our musical fire garden collaboration with Pa-Boom  is available and taking bookings for this Autumn and Winter. It was first commissioned for the Huddersfield Festival of Light in December 2012.

The installation lasts for up to 5 hours, and can be configured in many different permutations to suit different locations and events. Musically it also comes with several different options:

  • PA and pre-recorded soundtrack with DJ/sound engineer (samples of the sound of the fire itself a speciality!)
  • Lone minstrel wandering the flickering pathways, playing reeds and sax.
  • 3-piece brass and percussion ensemble
  • Large (7 piece+) brass, reed and percussion band
  • Any combination of the above…

Contact us for further information and booking details.

Without Walls Consortium 2013 Programme


We’re in the midst of creating our new show, the Without Walls comission Bone Yard Tales – here’s a sneaky peak into the chaos of the build. In order to create the ‘Bone Yard’ we’ve had to indulge all our latent scrap collecting, hoarding and scavenging tendencies, and let loose our inner Wombles. Here’s the evidence…
