Talking about Old Records at One8, Nottingham 27 September 2008
One 8 saw the launch of the Cultural Olympiad in Nottingham where the newest members of the Easy Action Sound System joined Charity Shop DJ and Dr Matt of Nottingham Trent University for an intergenerational mash-up.
During September 2008, Charity Shop DJ and Dr Matt have been working with kids from the Bemrose school in Derby, and with older people from community groups in the city, to find out how music can be a tool of communication between the generations.
On 27th September 2008, these newest members of the Easy Action Sound System made the journey to Nottingham to play together for the first time at One8.
They played records, re-enacted album covers, and generally mixed it up. Find out what happened >
