The Bus to Cupar

Derek Lodge

Here is a song about a fictional bus ride to Cupar. It’s based on a conglomeration of conversations and chance meetings I’ve experienced. I discuss my art practice and preconceptions of artists, although it’s not as dry as that sounds. It’s quite good fun actually.

Based in Dundee , artist Derek Lodge employs video, music, performance, dialogue and collaborative practice. He is part of the Scottish artists’ collective Ganghut and  recently completed a residencies at Cove Park and Yorkshire ArtSpace in Sheffield where he developed a distinctive style of ‘musical documentary’ in collaboration with some rather specialised Sheffield clubs such as The Sir Cliff Richard Meeting House of Sheffield and Sheffield City Morris Dancers.
