Dogs will present Guided Goitside an iteration of their latest project
that explores and reflects on Bradford's countercultural history,
present and future. Part of a Recon event with Juxtavoices and Bradford
Scratch Orchestra. <br> <br>The
event will be the first broadcast of the experimental composition Guided
Goitside, designed for radio broadcast and funded by the <b>Community
Media Association’s Modulate programme, in collaboration with BCB
106.6FM</b>. Hear the work on BCB 106.6FM or with a live audience at Delius
Arts & Cultural Centre.<br> <br>The
piece follows the route of a guided walk around ‘Goitside,’ Bradford.
It integrates storytelling, community history, field recordings, sound
and music to reflect on Bradford's countercultural history and explore
the relationship between culture and regeneration.<br><br>Guided
Goitside was developed from a series of open discussion and mapping
sessions, initially based around Jeff Nuttall's 1968 book Bomb Culture,
and seeking to unearth an alternative, vibrant and politicised picture
of culture in Bradford, from the 1960s to today, as a counter to a
sanitised view of culture-led regeneration. This resulted in an
alternative guided walk around ‘Goitside’ – an area of Bradford
earmarked for a regeneration programme that never happened. With
thanks to our collaborators: Mary Dowson, Dusty Rhodes, Jonny Buck,
Gary Kavanagh, Robert Galleta and everyone who took part in the mapping
and discussion sessions.<br><br>Following
the Black Dogs broadcast the event continues with Bradford Scratch
Orchestra – a platform for musicians and non-musicians interested in
playing improvised, experimental and collectively devised music – and
Juxtavoices, Sheffield’s antichoir, including many familiar faces from
Sheffield’s leftfield music, poetry and visual arts scene and led by
Martin Archer.<br></div></div></div></div><br></div>
