Where I began and where I ended up…  with this piece… was a ‘mad’ journey…

SO, so, so sorry it has taken me this long to get it up.. I have so much footage 2 edit but so little time.. lol…  Thanks Steph Hernandez for directing… I must add it is a work in progress…. and I am hoping to to ‘develop and build’ on this. Thanks for your time 1gone.

This is an extract from Rukus’s performance at the Apples & Snakes event Holding Our Ground in May 09.
He debuts new material from his residency on the streets of Derby.

So, here comes  a first work in progress from the WBA set……  I sat in on lots of sessions where the youth team at WBA work with groups of children on football and ‘Respect’ campaigns. This was inspired by a little boy who was too young to join in the actual football practise part of the sessions, but just wanted to run around the pitch wearing the cagoul of the WBA trainer he obviously idolised:) He was so joyfull and felt transformed in the blue and white cagoul and just wouldn’t stop chattering about everyone and everything and was obsessed with everything WBA. So this is written in his overexcitable voice, as if he’s been mainlining Haribo for 24 hrs……
