Fresh from winning in three categories at the 2021 New York Festival Awards, Jon Holmes returns with his multi-award winning satirical soundscape The Skewer, as it twists itself into the news like a concept album of current affairs. It's your new news fix.
"Its sharpness left me slack-jawed." The Times
"A surreal flow of snippets - news and views, music and memories - melded into a huge
orchestral piece of compelling originality. THE SKEWER is satire at its cleverest, both
biting and beautiful. If you could listen to a Francis Bacon painting, this is what it would
sound like.”
“A unique celebration of diversity in terms of views, contributors, and attitude. The Skewer is a masterpiece that gives voice to the unheard”.
