A Live Sound Collage at the Dock Museum April 20 2017.

A unique Sound event comes to the Dock Museum on April 20, when artist John Hall teams up with

Musician / DJ Ste Tyson and Musician / Sound Designer Damo Rose for an evening of vintage BBC Sound Effects, Field Recordings made in and around Barrow, and unusual items from John's vinyl collection.

John and Ste will man the turntables to mix and overlay the vinyl, making a (largely) maritime themed sound collage in which you'll hear tugboat sirens and fog horns, machinery, music , outboard motors, seabirds, comic voices, coughs and sneezes and many other sounds combined with a collection of new recordings made around town by Damo in recent weeks.

The Sound Effects records have been provided by BBC Radio Cumbria. John went through their record collection a couple of years ago while working on an archives project, and played his odder finds on Gordon Swindlehurst's afternoon show. John and Ste, who regularly DJ's at Ulverston's Hope And Anchor and sings with local band The Prophets, have played several shows using these fascinating bits of vinyl. Damo, a familiar figure on the local music scene and Sound Technician with the Ashton Group Theatre Factory, joins them for the first time for the Dock Museum show.

The show is part of John's 2017 " Seasoning" project, and takes place a couple of days before National Record Shop day. 

Says John,

"We'll be including some recent purchases

from Pepperland Collect in Barrow. Support your local Record Shop, your local Radio Station and your local Museum."

Admission to the show is free, and the doors open at 7.30.
