Hiya!

We are in the process of writing new material to put up here. The problem is, that unlike the football site Given to Score, and the personal site – Given to Fly, the work is less frequent and involves other people when we do get new stuff.

To give you an idea of what you will see if you do keep checking back here, we have conducted interviews with an up and coming new artist. As for the fact that this site hasnt been updated since 2007, I can only apologise. Take a look at Given to Fly for some indication as to why that may be. Rest assured when everything’s good and ready to go this place will have new stuff.

Thanks, and keep checking through the usual channels!

Gone are the romantic ideas of “getting to that place where we wanna go” and walking in the sun. In there place a harsher, more realistic tone. We are left in no doubt that running away is not the answer. The characters on Darkness are staying in town and working through their own personal darkness.
