Arty Facts
[Repeated from Sunday 1.30pm.] Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts. Today, Master J is joined by musical theatre actor Karen Holmes and comedy musician Mike Martin to bear witness to the rehearsal and questionable first attempts to play three songs from the 2021 musical, It’s a Boy. Dignity, pitching and any recognisable sense of musicality have been left at the door. These particular songs place the weakest of the singers in the most prominent roles. Entrances are missed, wrong notes are hit and each wobbly performance is followed by the studio recordings laid down afterwards. The cast lurches through If I’m Going to Follow a Star, We’re Going To Trick Him, and Don’t You Dare Do So. If you’re indifferent to fingers being dragged down a chalkboard or the sound of a baby crying, then Holmes, Martin and J might just be your new favourite band. For more information visit Master J on Facebook.
