RT @ManchesterUP: Don't miss author @ColdTapFilms and other guests at the next Sound Affects event in #Brighton! Sound Affects is a night…
I loved hosting the Post-Rave Britain Archive Roadshow last week. It was an event in Brighton where people were invited to contribute objects or images that reflect rave's impact on culture, society, and politics over the last 30 years. Organised by @SussexUni and @the_moyc. x https://t.co/s7YMlOLAP4
From Steve’s Lava Chicken to Peter Brötzmann and free jazz, from the women of grime to Death Cab For Cutie and soul music, Sound Affects in #Brighton this week was one for the books. Big thanks to @ellie_ramsden, Daniel Spicer and Steven Bamidele for their enthralling talks. X https://t.co/lVmIyZhizp
