Here are some snippets from our live and recorded work. Lockdown removed any plausible excuses about being too busy with live shows to produce online entertainment and so, here you go. Stretched Light is stretching both day and night to bring you further refreshing distractions and so, as they say, watch this space.

This was recorded during lockdown with all participants geographically dislocated – Stephen in West Ealing, Laura in France and the Simons Rae and Fielder in Hull and Ashtead respectively. It was only thanks to the patience and expertise of Tim (in Devon!) that it all came together.
In a case of art mirroring life, Luke and Barney are writers forced by circumstances to work via Skype. (Remember that?) Luke’s wife, Trish, is expecting their first child – imminently. The boys, however, are not adapting well to their new working conditions.
Will Luke and Barney finish their script before Trish gives birth? Will Liverpool win their first league title in 30 years? And, most importantly, is Samantha shagging Nigel?

When Tom Marlin is scrunched on the football field by the school bully, Devlin, he needs a major operation on his shoulder. He comes out of hospital with his shoulder repaired and the miraculous gift of being able to turn cricket ball miles – a gift that transforms his life.
This wonderful tale will appeal to boys and girls from the young to those who are just young at heart. As a book, it is an absolute page-turner and Michael Simkins brings Tom and his incredible achievements to life with his masterfully gripping reading. Prior to its release as a complete audiobook here is the first chapter, free of charge, to whet your appetite.
“A great story that will appeal to anyone of any age”
