Broadway Festival Fun & Next Gig: Say Sum Thin 7 #SST7
So...last Saturday was epic; The G.O.A Choir performed on day 2 of The Lacehouse's Broadway Summer Festival, along with some other fantastic Nottingham artists. And don't get me started on the plethora of awesome creative pop-up shops, great cocktails and brilliant food! My only regret is that I wasn't there to thrash everyone at the Table Tennis Tournament.

Debris, Emily, Honey & The G.O.A.
The women of The G.O.A. have been rehearsing for an amazing spoken word poetry event called ‘Say Sum Thin 7’ by The Mouthy Poets featuring the legendary Poet John Agard at the Nottingham Playhouse.
Our Choir Director Honey Williams has been busily vocally arranging, song writing, poeticising and getting our collabo on with Deborah ‘Debris’ Stevenson (Leader of Mouthy Poets) and Emily Franklin (Singer and member of both the Mouthy Poets and The G.O.A. Choir) to put together an exciting piece intriguingly titled ‘Pattercake Song’, its jam-packed with very deep, huge and sensitive topics such as #Racism and #Bullying and how it effects women, the rise of #UKIP #WhiteSupremacy #misogyny #homophobia #gender and #school no less!

Tie tight, black boards painted white.
New school electric-keyboard fight!
The clasp of music class. The tempting tickle
to spend lesson one in a toilet cubicle.
Teenagers stretch and strike Superkings.
All adults are about to pickle aspirations,
the walls start to shrivel. My new bra
starts to scream. There’s a knot of girls waiting,
on the field, hair so tight it looks like maths.
My 3rd generation leather suitcase looks crass.
My mum cautioned me of this mass:
Honey Lyrics:
this kind of racism aint easy to see
its covert and ninjalike I’ve had to be
it puts white appearing people in a privilege place
when you go for a job you know the skin on your face
will never negatively effect your prospects in anyway
unless you’re foreign in which case
