The next Partners resident artists in Tillydrone, Graeme Roger and Kevin Reid, have now started. The two have been working collaboratively as ‘ROGER & REID' for over four years now. During their stay in Tillydrone and the surrounding communities they plan to seek out like-minded individuals with the outlook of collaborating on a North East 'goon show' style radio slot, films and sketches and a possible rock opera. So if you see two wee hairy guys with cameras and microphones snooping around the neighbourhood fear not! it's only ROGER & REID.
