Green Space Dark Skies

For Green Space Dark Skies, 20,000 people from all paths in life will become Lumenators, each carrying a low impact light into the landscape. Together, we will experience beautiful green spaces across the UK. Imagine thousands of lights making patterns on mountains, lakes and moorland across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. These lights will be sensitive to the night-time environment.

Led by outdoor arts experts Walk the Plank, up to 20 events will take place from April to September 2022. We will take the nation on a journey through our National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs), to a climactic closing moment across the UK that will be broadcast to millions. These are places that anyone can visit, any time, for free. But we know not everybody feels welcome there. Walk the Plank is inviting people who don’t usually experience the countryside to take part and to share their stories – before, during and after.

You can join alone, with family and friends or in an organised group, all for free.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with the incredible Oasis One World Choir, led by their Musical Director Laura Bradshaw, and organised by producer Angharad Evans to record an incredible composition, ‘These Lands Are Our Lands’ by MD Laura, for the Green Space Dark Skies event at the Gower, Swansea. The piece included the words “These Lands Are Our Lands” sung/spoken/voiced in different languages from across the globe, as well as including an array of instrumentation and featuring a stunning poem by Eric Ngalle Charles.

It was absolutely amazing to be able to work with such an inspirational group of people, who I have actually had the privilege of working with once in the past while studying at the University of South Wales to record music for a feature documentary on Oasis Cardiff.
