Join poet Beth Calverley and musician Beth Roberts on a voyage through deep friendship feelings, safely afloat in an otherworldly choir of spoken and sung voices.

‘The Awkward Guide to Friendship’ traces the tale of Beth & Beth’s friendship, interspersing the duo’s own experiences of loneliness and connection with voice notes of other people talking about friendship, original songs and immersive soundscapes. Along the way, they invite their
new friends (you!) to help inspire some live improvisations and join in with collective singing – though quiet listening is equally welcomed.
