Big highlight @TurnerSims this year was @lukewrightpoet and @benolivermusic's word/music collaboration The Driver.
It's about a man driving round the country, but so much more than that. Life, death and lay-bys.
They're Kickstarting a vinyl release - kck.st/3BI5Npk.
Watch and listen to a snippet of The Driver here -
