One for small claims: I walked past this guy a couple of days ago, he was wearing the same jacket IIRC. It was only afterwards that I thought I should have asked him to do one on Balearic Silverbacks or Gentleman Amateur DJs.

A friend recently made this, an interview with a now-deceased dry stone waller - discussing the craft, his experiences & moreā¦
Back in Spring 2022, Harry Wheeler got a phone call from local community activist and death doula Mary Clear. She tells him that sheās helping a man out by the name of John Mounsey, āhe only has four weeks left to liveā and wants to document his last days on film
John takes us through his life of being a Dry Stone Waller and how by integrating Kung Fu into his practice, he has been able to overcome adversity and live a life of poetry, where inner places seem to match and coincide with the physical landscapes he finds himself working in.

Such a gentleman. I heard him close a big festival tent with some deep, heavy, spiritual ragga jungle one night, never heard anything like it before or since:
Featuring Bootsy Collins, Larry Graham, Nile Rogers ā¦ incredible to think the BBC was routinely making programmes like this 40 years ago.

Was watching this intvw with Chris Liberator, now aged 60. Very sharp and erudite. Reminded me of a college mate who was part of the free party scene, and similarly militant about it. At some point, you have to compromise, and I guess it is a real struggle for some, esp as you get older
