Craft, community, solidarity and skateboarding: This chat with Luke Tonge goes places! It may be the shortest track we’ve heard so far on Survival Songs, but it sure still packs a punch. And Luke is the perfect person to introduce you to it. We hope you love it.

Luke is a graphic designer (& occasional lecturer), originally from Nottinghamshire and now, via Falmouth, proudly flying the flag for the West Midlands, where he & his wife Tash live. With a passion for craft, nourished by pop culture, his practise focuses on creating compelling identity & editorial work for brands, agencies and charities. As co-director of Birmingham Design, the organisation responsible for the Birmingham Design Festival & Gather, he spends much of his time championing the creative community. He is very into kindness, fun and wearing shorts.
