My Bad, Europa is a story of a God, an omnipotent, but deeply flawed deity born within the structures and restrictions of Universal Royalty and power. His basket, gifted to him by his Mother Phoebe, harboured a dust that if sprinkled, could create or destroy anything he could think of. But Europa, his moon partner, tried to warn him: playing with life in this way could lead to miscalculation…..
Featuring a diverse collection of Halifax’s most accomplished musicians, the five songs that tell this story are interspersed with intense and dramatic orchestral interludes.
