Stone Foundation

I am proud to have been working with Stone Foundation, since the start, from recording their first EP to 'Echoes of Joy from their upcoming album (out this week March 2022) and 'Season of Change' featuring Bette Lyvette, from the album 'Street Rituals' Produced by Paul Weller.

Rachael Dadd

Speaking of "Cut My Roots", Rachael says: "CUT MY ROOTS was inspired by my own personal experience of our country’s strict visa laws, and is a protest against recent political tides and a general rise in white supremacy. I wanted to speak up for our collective liberties. When it came to making the music video with Sam Wisternoff I used the context of our oppressive past which although is no longer in living memory, still echoes all around us today. It is important that each one of us keeps an eye on our collective liberties. Gratitude to all those who have helped to make these things with me. "
Directed by Rachael Dadd and Sam Wisternoff, Camera: Sam Wilkins and Richard Edkins, See Youtube for full credits.

(Rachael and Ichi are partners with two children, living between Bristol and Japan).

Trust Fund

‘Abundant’ Directed by James Hankins. Filmed June 2018 by James Hankins and Richard Edkins.

’The “Abundant” video is based on the premise that singer Ellis Jones has fallen so far behind in school that he must make up five years’ worth of education in a flash, in a sort of Billy Madison situation. The twist is that his teacher’s fast-paced curriculum involves forming a band, supporting his local scene, getting signed, et al, framing all the machinations of a local DIY band trying to “make it” in the context of what looks like elementary school.’

The video was released just as they announced they were splitting up (as the article in stereogum (link below) explains). The video also revisits / two other videos James Directed for the band. I helped shoot and my daughter is in them too.
