Organised by Polytechnic & Kate Sweeney. Part of the Polytechnic ecologies programme

We're working with Polytechnic to develop an evening of free music at Star and Shadow, an open volunteer-run social space and Cinema in Newcastle. We're inviting bands, musicians, producers and DJs to perform covers, versions, remixes or interpretations of the 1920s and 30s out-of-copyright folk, blues, and jazz from the Open Music Archive. A series of live plugged and unplugged performances will be recorded and licensed under Creative Commons ShareAlike, generating a new resource - free for use and reuse in the future.

The event opens up a temporary channel for music, exchange and discussion that operates beyond individual proprietary and commercial interests.

Participants

This is a changing list...

The Fishery Commission, Cathode, Les Cox Sportifs, Bridie Jackson, Nathalie Stern, Onoma, Emily Portman, Bryonie Danby, Laurie Shepherd & Nick Pride, Graham Mitchinson & James Hutchinson, Iain Wheeldon
