THIS JUST IN…

HELLO

My name is Bruce Dennill. I am a writer, musician, editor and broadcaster.

pARTicipate was established in 2014. Here, you will find reviews (chART), features and interviews (ARTicles), opinion pieces (ARTiculate) and travel stories (depART).

The point of these pages is to develop the conversation around arts and culture. Join me in doing so. Subscribe to pARTicipate at the bottom of this page: no spam, just stories as they are uploaded (two or three per week). Hopefully, this’ll help guide you in your choice of the rich offering of shows, books, film, music and destinations we have on offer. And hopefully that will mean artists receive the rewards they’re due.

Thanks for visiting. Enjoy.
