Un-convention Salford 10
Salford based music industry event, Un-Convention is a global grassroots music event and community – that meets physically and virtually to share ideas; discuss and debate cutting edge issues around music, technology and creativity; and facilitates members engagement with their peers. Un-Convention is not about the business of music. The community is driven by a not for profit initiative that sees opportunity for the grassroots in the changes to the way music is being produced, consumed and sustained.
The national Un-Convention event promises to be the biggest and best yet. Taking influence from Un-Convention events around the world and inviting some of the most inspirational and influential figures from the global grassroots music scene – this year will use Un-Conventional spaces – including a barge, Salford Lads Club and a church; and explore new and cutting edge issues around music, technology and creativity.
We have so far confirmed that Bill Drummond, Jarvis Cocker, Martin Atkins, Jon McClure, Brian Travers, Billy Bragg, Kevin Cummins and Don Letts will be doing unusual and interesting things in the most unexplored places in the City. We will also host a travelling circus; music photography on buildings; very special interactive performances in unusual spaces around Salford and a brass band opening the event. Panel content includes; ‘the politicisation of music’; ‘music as a tool for social change’; and ‘we fought the law’.
Bands confirmed so far include: Gabby Young and Other Animals performing with Eccles Borough Brass Band, Kid British, Reverend Soundsystem, Silverclub, The Beating Wing Orchestra and a very special one off performance with Jon McClure, Martin Atkins, Jah Wobble, Jarvis Cocker, The BBC Philharmonic and performers from DR Congo, Poland, Colombia, Africa and more places around the world.
