In deze aflevering (#5) van Vrije Geluiden 2 Go hoor je nieuwe muziek afkomstig uit een wisselwerking tussen India en het Verenigd Koninkrijk: de Britse drummer Richard Spaven maakte samen met de toonaangevende elektronicaproducer Sandunes uit Mumbai een EP waarin veelzijdigde elektronica naadloos aansloot op Spavens lenige drumspel. Drummer Sarathy Korwar genoot een klassieke tabla-opleiding in India voordat hij zelf naar Londen verhuisde. Daar brengt hij nu migrantenverhalen van de Indiase diaspora samen in zijn muziek. Van heet van de naald in de eerste helft gaat Iddo in het tweede gedeelte helemaal terug naar 1928, in een zoektocht naar de meest iconische solo's uit de jazz: improvisaties die decennia later nog bestudeerd, bewonderd en binnenstebuiten gekeerd worden. Ook hier speelt het heden een belangrijke rol, wanneer de schijnwerpers worden gezet op een recente solo van Cory Henry die zomaar eens in het rijtje van meest iconische solo's ooit terecht zou kunnen komen.

This episode is in two parts: David Turner talks to poet and playwright Jackie Hagan talk about Jackie’s new play, ‘This Is Not A Safe Space’, which she’s just started touring. The play, presented by Unlimited and Big Feast, is based on interviews with over 80 people and in it, Jackie examines the impact of benefit cuts on disabled people and others on the margins of society. Perhaps predictably, considering the theme of this work, we discuss class - a lot. More specifically, when the idea of class entered Jackie’s consciousness and the effect it had on her gall bladder and mental health. Dates for 'This Is Not A Safe Space': 23 and 24 March 2018 at the Attenborough Centre in Leicester as part of De-Stress Fest 25 March 2018 the Alhambra Theatre in Morecambe 29 March 2018 at the Creation Space in Basingstoke 30 March 2018 at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield 17-21 April 2018 Camden People’s Theatre in London Part two [00:58:33]: David Turner is in front of a live audience at the Verve Poetry Festival in Birmingham talking to Nuar Alsadir about writing for an imagined reader and treating our notebook and pen as tools of the trade.
