Résumé :

So, when you have the time and the space, the thoughts start to fill it, you know? Unless you fill it yourself. With a little burn mout. Or a little tune.

Errol lost his dad last year. Listening to his old man's Spotify playlist, he remembers his dad's passion over the 1981 Brixton uprising and his certainty that change was coming.

Errol is tired of the fight and, as his son takes up the fight with the BLM movement, he questions if this is a revolution or a repetition.

A thought-provoking journey of loss, history and uprising in Everything I Own, an intimate yet provocative intergenerational conversation between father and son written by Daniel Ward.

This edition was published to coincide with the run at London's Brixton House in June 2024.
