Celebrating female artists: Introducing Maeve Marsden (ie me)
For International Women’s Day, the wonderful Rose Wintergreen of Launch Bubble ran a series celebrating female artists. Much as I loathe answering questions about myself (as if), I managed to jot a few things down. Here’s the interview: Maeve Marsden on Launch Bubble. And here’s a meme they made, which is actually me quoting Phoebe […]
Edinburgh…one week on
It’s hard to believe it’s only been a week since our closing night. Enough time to return to normal sleeping patterns, farewell most of the team (only Linda, Libby and I remain in London, while Phoebe’s is on her way to Paris as we speak) and squeeze in a Scottish highlands road trip and a […]

Oh Lady Rizo. Stunning, hilarious, […]

Farewell sweet friend of mine…
We met in 2006. You arrived just when I needed you. Bringing comfort and support, giving me space, complimenting me perfectly. Together we toiled 7 days (and nights) per week at the Edge Theatre where the stars trod the boards 10 minutes apiece in efforts to prove their potential fame and entertain Newtown’s masses. Incognito, […]
