Barrow Park Bandstand, Sunday Aug 2, 9.30am. Daniel Fischer and John Eacott are joined by Steve Benn for the opening notes of a 12 hour performance of Floodtide, a work drawing on tidal data from Walney Channel and performed by singers, harps, drums, brass , woodwinds, Steve's Didj, violins, harmonium, bells... all either from the local area or featured artists at the 2015 Full Of Noises Festival.
The piece has a lyric drawn from a poem by Kate Davis.
Steve Benn has worked with the Octopus Collective on a couple of projects involving our relationship with the eco-structure and sonic environment in his capacity as Natural England's Warden on North Walney and has been instrumental in our setting up a great working relationship with North Walney Primary School. We are very glad of Natural England's continuing support, and we hope we can work together again soon, Cheers Steve.
