It’s been 3 years since we received Richard Mercer’s blessing to do this show, since then a lot has happened. I got a dog, for instance - her name is Jesse and she’s a staffy. And there’s a global pandemic.
Despite all this, Bonnie and I are currently touring our theatre show - Love Song Dedications (without Richard Mercer). Head to MissingRichardMercer.com for a full list of venues and dates, and links to buy tickets.
Tell your friends to come along! And make sure you say hi.
Bonnie & Tom lament the long lost radio show "Love Song Dedications", and in particular, the dulcet tones of Richard Mercer and his engagement with lovestruck or lovetorn individuals. The show ran every weeknight between 1997 and 2013, across the East Coast of Australia. Has the art of the love song dedication been lost? Do we need it?
This series follows Bonnie & Tom on their quest to find the voice of the Love God, and exactly what made him special - along the way, they'll talk to the experts of love songs in their city.
|| The Missing Richard Mercer podcast is made in conjunction with the theatre production, "Love Song Dedications (without Richard Mercer)", Tom Hogan & Bonnie Leigh-Dodds, as part of Ten Tonne Sparrow. Original music by Tom Hogan. For more information, visit http://missingrichardmercer.com
