   Mouth-Off 2.10: BONUS - The Evidence Locker: Clary's Cultural Cwtch Blog #74

   On this special bonus episode of MOUTH-OFF, Clary opens up The Evidence Locker, taking a rummage through over forty years of poems, songs, notebooks, schoolwork, unfinished ideas and assorted creative evidence. Originally created to accompany Clary’s Cultural Cwtch Blog #74, this audio essay explores creativity, memory, influence, originality and the strange ways that words, images and ideas can follow us through our lives. From childhood poems and teenage existential crises to recurring moons, Manic Street Preachers chord sheets, spectacularly misheard Nirvana lyrics and songs written decades apart, Clary traces some of the fingerprints that have remained across her creative work. Along the way, you'll hear readings from the archive, reflections on the people and music that shaped her writing, and acoustic excerpts from some of the songs themselves. The next full episode of MOUTH-OFF to drop in the main feed, Exclamation!, will be arriving in time for Halloween which, given that things get rather spooky, feels unexpectedly appropriate.

   Mouth-Off 2.09: BONUS - The Welsh Christmas Capers - Welsh Folklore • AAC • Creativity

   On this special bonus episode of MOUTH-OFF, we take a festive detour into the world of Welsh folklore, winter traditions, Celtic music, storytelling and inclusive creativity. Although it's June rather than December, we're incredibly proud of The Welsh Christmas Capers, a National Lottery HERITAGE FUND-supported project delivered by RCT Learning Curve in partnership with Forget-Me-Not Productions and Word Groove Collective. Following the project's evaluation in May, we wanted to share some of the creative work that emerged along the way. Over the past year, participants from Gadlys, Llwynypia and Ty Draw Day Services explored Welsh winter traditions including Mari Lwyd, Plygain, Calennig and Noson Gyflaith through music, film-making, storytelling, performance, cookery, visual arts and assistive technology. In this episode you'll hear excerpts from the project's films, original songs, documentary features and audio story, alongside reflections on how participants brought Welsh heritage to life through their own creativity and communication styles. From rhyme battles and horse skulls (seriously) to magical toffee, ghostly carols and original songs, this is a celebration of Welsh culture, collaboration and imagination. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Welsh Christmas Capers was delivered by RCT Learning Curve in partnership with Forget-Me-Not Productions and Word Groove Collective, with funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Special thanks to the participants, families and staff at Gadlys, Llwynypia and Ty Draw Day Services whose creativity, enthusiasm and contributions made the project possible. All media clips, films, documentary features, audio productions and project content featured in this episode were produced by Forget-Me-Not Productions as part of The Welsh Christmas Capers. "Dancing with Your Heart" is performed by Word Groove Collective. Lyrics by Gavin Clifton. Music by Clary Saddler.

   Mouth-Off 2.08: Sync or Sink? Interview with Al Steele, James Warren and Gavin Clifton

   On this episode of Mouth-Off I chat to AL STEELE, JAMES WARREN of THE KORGIS, and author, lyricist, disability rights activist  and  MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER & AAC USER, GAVIN CLIFTON. AL, JAMES, and GAVIN each bring a unique perspective on CREATIVITY, SONGWRITING, and the power of MUSIC to connect people. GAVIN collaborates with host CLARY SADDLER through WORD GROOVE COLLECTIVE, where he writes lyrics and advocates for greater ACCESSIBILITY and representation for people who use AUGMENTATIVE AND ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATION (AAC). We get to here their creative journeys, the stories behind their work, and the ways music can inspire, challenge, and bring people together. We also explore a wide range of topics including SONGWRITING, SYNC PLACEMENT, COLLABORATION, the changing MUSIC INDUSTRY, DISABILITY RIGHTS, ACCESSIBILITY IN THE ARTS, creative influences, and the importance of finding and maintaining your own ARTISTIC VOICE. We also play a round of "SYNC OR SINK?", putting our guests' music industry instincts to the test, and delve into the world of DIEGETIC and NON-DIEGETIC MUSIC, exploring how music functions within film, television, and other media. It's a lively and thought-provoking conversation packed with insights, humour, industry knowledge, and plenty of musical stories along the way. NB: The music tracks included in this podcast are used for the purposes of CRITIQUE, COMMENTARY, ANALYSIS, AND REVIEW.
