Goodwin Development Trust
Andrew Pittock (Narrator)
Andrew Pittock comes from Wales and became a son of the
desert by moving to Saudi Arabia as a babe in arms. Then via
Hull, Sunderland, France and London, Andrew came back to the
banks of the Humber at the tender age of thirty.
His acting experience has been limited to school and university
productions but he has dubbing and translation voice-over work
experience in France as well as compereing ‘Mr Octagon’ for the
Goodwin Development Trust.
As a member of Goodwin staff, Andrew was really pleased to land
the role of the narrator for The Legend of Kawa the Blacksmith
and is looking forward to his nieces and nephews hearing him
in the film. He has now developed a bit of a taste for stage and
Christine Brennan (Kawa’s wife)
Christine says, “I’m really pleased to be doing the voice for Kawa’s
wife in this really exciting project. I trained at the Welsh College
of Music and Drama years and years and years ago. Since then
I have been lucky to have continued acting in theatre, television
and radio drama. My last theatre production was Hound of the
Baskervilles in the summer of 2007, and I’ve appeared in various
telly dramas and soaps over the years. I’m a pretty regular occurrence
in Radio 4 dramas too.
I now, like many people in the acting profession, run various careers
at the same time. I have just been directing a documentary
in Bangladesh, which was a great experience. I’m hoping to do
some work in Kurdistan at some point this year too and it’s great
to know at least one tale.”
Peter McGurn, Chief Executive of Goodwin Development Trust, said, “We are very excited about the film and the
impact that it could have. This is a unique project that will help to promote Kurdish/British cooperation and interaction
in our growing multi-cultural society. From the start we were keen to involve the local community as a whole, bringing
together cultures to create something that can be enjoyed by everyone.
“When Stuart and Havi came to us with the idea, we recognised the great potential and benefit that could come from
the making of Kawa the Blacksmith and are delighted with the result.”
