Rebellion is one of the many artistic personalities of Kirklees and has been for some time. In fact, it could be argued that much of the music that is made here in Kirklees has a rebellious streak. Amateur music scenes in a way, all have the spirit of rebellion within it. It’s music despite hardship, despite having a lack of money or time, despite not having the right instrument or the most prestigious training. These are determined musicians, standing in the face of what we, as a society, deem popular or successful or, in some cases, possible.
The musicians and musical facilitators featured in this episode have taken that spirit of rugged determination to its conclusion - connected by innovation, experimentalism, chaos, and anarchy.
This episode features snippets of music with the kind permission of the artist: Chris Ruffoni’s Solar Phones at Butterley Resevoir; Full Circle by the Instigators; Stopped in the Zoo by Giblets and Cheese; News from Nowhere by Laffmad; Etch by Bodycoder; Light Boxz by FoxGlove Riot; and the TOWNSOUNDS theme tune by Sam H. Song.
