Norman Swan - The Lowdown on Longevity

From the page to the stage, Words & Music is a festival project in which songwriters are invited by Newcastle curator Nick Milligan to write and perform an original work inspired by the written word. Whether it be a novel, poem, short story or something unexpected, pre-existing prose is channelled into new art.

The 2025 edition of Words & Music saw William Crighton, Melody Pool, Charlie Scott, Candle Drum, Dave Wells and Symphony Rain Riley, Chelsea Reed, Ziggy Ramo, Khin Myint and Chain Daisy all perform new original works. The show also includes a live reading by Dylin Hardcastle from their book A Language of Limbs.

This performance was recorded at Newcastle's Conservatorium of Music on Saturday, April 5, 2025 and was hosted by Nick Milligan.
