Cultivating spaces for extraordinary artists

An update on Bill Lock

In July, cinematographer Ben Hecking, Sound Designer Louis Morand and I travelled to Clun to explore, film, and record Bill's world. We also met some of the people who knew him and heard wonderful stories, including stories about his funeral and local Morris team the Shropshire Bedlams.

Musician John Kirkpatrick writes: “Dummy used to join in with us…both at practices in the old Memorial Hall in Clun and if he saw us out and about. The family did us the great honour of asking us to dance at his funeral.”

A very big thank you to all those who generously shared their stories - and thanks to John Kirkpatrick for the marvellously joyful photograph of Bill Lock joining in with the Bedlams.
