Seamas Carey Meets His 4 Year Old Self, With a Choir

One day Seamas Carey found an old cassette tape in the back of the family car, on which he discovered recordings of himself as a 4 year old boy, telling stories and singing his heart out.

The recordings were mostly nonsensical, but he knew he had to finish them, to fix and present them in some shape or form. Initially, this produced mixed results, but with the help of a 30-piece choir led by the experienced Vicky Abbott and directed by Agnieszka Blonska, they have distilled these ideas down to 6o minutes of greatest hits material.

An evening of heartwarming and ridiculous songs, question asking, possible time travel, nostalgia probing and pure silliness. Suitable for anyone who has a child, has been a child, or is still a child.

Created as a part of the exhibition HOMEMADE, Newlyn Art Gallery.
Premiered at Newlyn Art Gallery on the 20th of October 2016.
