'Xtra Betrayal' - The follow up to 'Betrayal in the Paddock'. Medway Council are up to their tricks again. If the film angers you enough that you want to stop their destruction then please do make the effort to complain. Petitions are no good, even if 10,000 people sign them they only count as a single objection, you all have to complain individually to make your voice heard. Do it, go all the way. 11.57 minutes in length.
'Memoriacide' - Live music from Lupen Crook and Oliver Burgess played at locations in the Medway Estuary, showing Cockham Wood and Darnet Fort, Hoo Ness Island and Darnet Island. As the old traveller writer's saying goes, we each kill the thing we love. 17.12 minutes in length
'Full Moon over Deadmans Island'- In September 2009 four members of the Historical Hillwalker group took to canoes to explore the Medway River Estuary for three days, recording the sights as they went with paintbrush, pencil and cameras of various design. This is an account of their trip. 8.11 minutes in length.
'Betrayal in the Paddock' - A public information film featuring the music of Lupen Crook and Oliver Burgess and my Pinhole Photography. In 1815 the Paddock area of Chatham was made into a public garden which the people of the time stated they wished to see remain for a period of at least 400 years. Now, less than 200 years later, Medway Council has made plans to destroy part of it and build a bus station in it's place. They need to build a new bus station because if they simply refurbish the old one they'll have to hand back a 6 million pound grant, and that means some will loose out on a lot of brown envelopes. 12 minutes in length.
'Final Curtain At The Theatre Royal' - featuring the poetry, music and art of Billy Childish, Lupen Crook and Oliver Burgess, all recorded at the Theatre Royal in Chatham a few days before it was demolished in May 2009. 21.36 minutes in length.
