What is Under the Canopy?

Under the Canopy is my attempt to shine a little light on numerous artists who are friends of mine.

I rate them all, both as writers/artists/musicians, and also as friends. They are all good people, working hard to make their visions become real. Their dedication is exemplary.

Under the canopy constitutes a series of podcast conversations and videocasts, where we trawl through what creativity means to them and what they hope to achieve.

The phrase Under the Canopy comes from the notion that the big trees of the media are growing so tall, they leave a huge space for us to grow at ground level.
