The lighting for the 2003 tour was designed and operated by Tim Swinton.
None of the work could have happened without them. The evolving form of the project has been driven by their creative energy and commitment. Thank you all.
Creative input and encouragement for the project over the last 10 years has also come from Claudia Kappenberg, Adrin Neatrour, Lisa Vandervelde, Keith Mills, Joy Lawson, Karen Banning, Bob Sugden, Bob Webb, Jacqueline Quinn, Paul Miskin, Maysie & Colin Sharp. Thanks to all of you for your time, energy and support.

The pictures on this website are mostly single frames from video footage of Waving not Drowning taken during rehearsals and performances between 1997 & 2003. Video camera work by Claudia Kappenberg, Adrin Neatrour and John Porter. There are 1 or 2 stills taken by Keith Mills.
The loops of music throughout the website are from the studio version of the soundtrack based on the mix of live and pre-recorded music for the 2003 version of the show. This version was re-mixed and recorded after the Spring tour in 2003 by Keith Mills at Shed Studios in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside.
The music was created by Karen Banning, Keith Mills & Gordon Sharp.
A CD of this studio version is available. If you're interested in buying a copy please get in touch by emailing heart@beat.demon.co.uk There's also a DVD available of highlights from the different versions of the show.
All versions of "Waving not Drowning" were directed and produced by Gordon Sharp.
