Episode 46 - Still Here!

Here we are bringing you a bumpy, funky, trying-to-be-upbeat podcast during these confusing, stressful and downright shitty times. Misha and Elaine are having a go at remote podcasting (harder than we imagined) sharing information about the brilliant community initiatives coming out of this madness and putting some Nasty Action Plans in place. We're really keen to find ways to support you and boost morale over this coming time in isolation. If you have any better ideas than the ones mentioned then please give us a shout. Sending all our love and strength to you and your families. Stay Strong, stay Creative and stay Nasty. We teamed up with Meghan Tyler to launch a community fundraiser for Scottish creatives struggling through C****-19 - And we are overwhelmed by the response we've had in just over 48 hours... Details of the Wan Mair Tune Fund.. If you've had a good year or a sexy salary, consider donating. If you've lost gigs and you're feeling the stress, drop us an email [email protected] for a "Bread&Butter" application form. Funds will be allocated once we have reached our target... we're nearly there so keep on sharing! https://www.gofundme.com/f/wan-mair-tune-fund-coronavirus-scottish-artists?fbclid=IwAR3hHnGpLgP02fA8c-HRS7zLchAFz87gn0UBhtV0Ia-rAbIe0V-z3aItYxA Here are some links to some of the exciting things happening that will help ground, inspire and busy you: Glasgow Short Film Festival Online: https://glasgowshort.org Daily Dancing with Cultured Mongrel: https://www.culturedmongrel.org Twitter: @culturedmongrel To get involved email: [email protected] Scottish Theatre Support Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/859324347917883/ Cat Loud - Artistic Director of the acclaimed (brand new) Isolation Drama Club -launching their new season & first event tonight (Friday 20th 7pm) Skype table read of THE AFFAIR AT MEDDLER'S TOP, a whodunnit by Richard Coleman.
