Musician and Composer - Shaun Ottway
For those of you who don’t know me, I played a lot of music in my former life and now still make songs by myself and for myself as “Shaun & The Tides”. Here’s a song I wrote a while ago that’s one of my favourites. I cut together the video using old seafaring film that my Grandad took in the 1950s/1960s as a cadet and later merchant navy captain. I like how the song meanders and floats along to the footage. Hope you enjoy.
Cellist – Richard Greenwood
Many years ago I played the cello quite a lot (I actually wanted to play the violin but there was only a cello teacher nearby) while studying at music school and then briefly at music college before a complete change of direction to study Disaster Management. Twenty years later, this brought me to IMO! Many of my closest friends are still working in the music industry and obviously this year has been extremely tough for them. One of my promises in 2021 is, once the vaccine has been rolled out, to get out and enjoy lots more live music!

Furniture Painter - Helen Lofthouse
I used to really enjoy knitting, but seem to have fallen out of love with it slightly this year. Instead, I have spent much of my free time working at my new allotment and harvesting a ton of fruit and veg. Extremely rewarding! But as things needed less tending to I felt I needed a new hobby to keep me entertained while at home. I have been inspired by several ladies’ furniture painting on Instagram and so decided to give it a go myself.
Decoupage – Christine Edwards
You might be familiar with Christine’s work from the IMO Christmas fair. She is our most prominent stall holder specializing in Decoupage, handmade jewelry and mixed media.
PS. Decoupage is the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cutouts onto it in combination with special paint effects, gold leaf and other decorative elements.
Novelist – Santiago Diaz-Bravo
Santiago has recently published a new novel, featured on a Spanish TV channel. Unlike IMO reports, the paragraphs aren’t numbered and it’s a page-turner….if you can read Spanish
