RESONANCE FM & SHEFFIELD LIVE

Sensoria is delighted to announce a new festival experience – a special 
radio broadcast of a newly commissioned radio docu-drama. Radios will be 
available at various cafes around Sheffield and beyond to come along and 
tune in to this Premiere broadcast. (Participating cafes include Steam 
Yard Café and Café No. 9 in Sheffield).

Kafka Chic, written and produced by writer/musician Mick Somerset Ward 
and Dean Honer (I Monster, All Seeing I, Eccentronic Research Council), 
explores the cityʼs musical history contrasting the seminal year of 1980 
and now. The narrator is Graham Fellows (aka John Shuttleworth) and 
other contributors include: Martyn Ware (Heaven 17); Philip Oakey (The 
Human League); Stephen Mallinder (Wrangler, Cabaret Voltaire); Stephen 
Singleton (ABC) and Glenn Gregory (Heaven 17). The production also 
entirely features newly written music by Somerset Ward and Honer with 
guest vocalists including Lisa O’Hara (Magpies), Loretta Chantry 
(Betari’s Box), Zan (Blossomer), Kid Faces and Peter Rophone (The Third 
Half) plus a special contribution from Adi Newton (Clock DVA).

Additionally a sound design workshop was delivered as part of the Kafka 
Chic project, in association with Sheffield Hallam University. 
Participants aged 16 – 24 benefited from an all-round introduction to 
the world of sound design in the media from field recording to Foley.
