The Rose Hill is a venue, studio complex and creative hub run by musicians and artists and is one of my favourite venues to play at. Before its current incarnation it was pub I used to hang out in with my mate Matt before watching the football.

My friend Andrew Greaves and I had an idea for a work called Inside journeys which would explore the history and physical presence of a space and we approached The Rose Hill to see if they would be interested. We were delighted when they said they where, and even more delighted when they asked us if we would like to be part of their residency programme.

The audio sources and ideas for Inside journeys will be sourced by making recordings in the space of small solo performances, recordings of soundings of objects we find, and field recordings made over the course of the residency. We will also be sourcing historical recordings and any kind of sound ephemera we can lay our hands on, including sheet music relevant to the space and archive recordings. The residency will culminate in a performance of the work on Thursday November 17th 2022.

There’s more on their website and you can pre-book tickets here

Thanks to Kas and everyone at the Rose Hill for giving us the opportunity and supporting us.
