Ten Sound City Saturdays will celebrate Edge Hill partnership with the Liverpool’s forthcoming Sound City festival, as Getintothis‘ David Hall reports.
Edge Hill University has laid on an exciting series of weekends from March 4, between Liverpool and their Ormskirk campus in celebration of their partnership with Sound City.
The programme will feature Edge Hill students alongside an exciting range of performances from cutting edge artists and talks from leading music industry figures in venues including Static Gallery, Liverpool Small Cinema, Bluecoat and The Arts Centre at Edge Hill University.
The first two of these events will take place on Saturday March 4, featuring a vintage mobile cinema at Liverpool’s Albert Dock screening a selection of music videos from Edge Hill’s The Label Recordings. Following on from this, four signees to The Label Recordings, Shrinking Minds, Oranj Son, Ali Horn and Youth Hostel will play exclusive sets at The Arts Centre.
Local music legend Roger Hill will also host a symposium on the subject of Radio Merseyside’s Popular Music Show, the UK’s longest-running independent music radio show. Other talks presented throughout Spring will discuss issues including women in music, art and pop music.
