Ed Webb-Ingall, Gettin’ On
Ed Webb Ingall has been working with Southwark Charities residents since 2022 exploring ideas around home and friendship. Following informal chats and discussions with groups and individuals at Edward Edwards House and Appleby Blue Almshouse about how they make friends (or don’t) Ed Webb-Ingall worked with songwriter Robbie Ellen and performer Lucy Duncan to produce the song Getting On.
For a few months in 2024 the line dancing group at Appleby Blue, led by Michael Gonzalez, met on Wednesdays and danced along to the new song. Their performance to a live rendition of the song by the Kissing Gates was the highlight of the Getting On Hoe-down held at Appleby Blue in February 2025. Getting On, performed by the Kissing Gates, is available on spotify.
