Creageivity
If you think you may be too old to be creative, or too creative to be old, then CREAGEIVITY is the podcast for you. Hosted by artist / musician / writers Adrienne Thomas and Harlan Cockburn, each show brings illuminating and inspiring conversation with people who have kept on keeping on in their chosen field... or started some entirely new activity in later life.

Creageivity 07 - with Artist Steve McDade
A drummer who arts, or an artist who drums? Steve McDade's academic career culminated as Head of Fine Art at the University of Chichester, and he has been a constant painter and exhibitor over the years: his most recent work being shown in 2023, with a back catalogue spanning very many art shows.
As a musician he was inspired by Tony Williams at an early age (banging out rhythms on Tupperware, as we learn in this podcast). He has played in a wide variety of jazz-oriented combos, from the free-form Displacement trio, the guitar-based Big Tent, and On the Corner, an ambitious big band rendering of works by Charles Mingus.
And here's another thing: Steve, Adrienne, and Harlan were students together at Maidstone College of Art about 50 years ago, but somehow neglected to catch up until now. Join us for a deep dive into the art of painting, and find out why we are living in the 1970s, all over again.
