Behind the scenes a lot has been going on. Perhaps “behind the scenes” is an apt description of the manufacturing process. A wonderful gent known on a few blogs as “Shap” has been burning candles at both ends (and in the middle too) behind the flame proof curtains of the theatre and has been making a labour of love - a beautiful lightweight coffin that shall be carried on the Wake for the Wild to the point of the highest turbine on the Dunmaglass Estate Power Plant.
Shap with the bare lightweight coffin
We had a brief conflab and decided that the right colour would be black. And it had to be waterproof. An Lo! The handles are next…
As I said to Shap: “That really is quite a beautiful coffin!”
I suppose that’s one of those phrases that, even in your most fevered imaginations in the various bars across the breadth of Scotland, you never ever thought you would ever hear yourself saying...
Later today, at 5:30pm I will be appearing on David Lintern’s show on Resonance FM with Andy Howell and amongst other things we will be discussing the forthcoming “Wake for the Wild” Protest.
There will be more shortly on here detailing the protest. Stay Tuned!
