Talks about music/subcultures: Liz Ikamba, Jonathan Scott & Caraline Brown

TICKETS: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/sound-affects

Sound Affects is a night of talks about music and subcultures, how sound affects us and how music changes the world. Hearing from writers, musicians, artists, superfans, photographers, filmmakers and everyday music lovers, we dive into personal stories, esoteric bands, fan communities, punk, pop, social change and much more. It's organised and hosted by journalist and documentary filmmaker Jak Hutchcraft.

Guest speakers:
Jonathan Scott - Writer and record collector. His book 'The Vinyl Frontier' is about the making of a Golden Record that NASA fixed to the side of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 in 1977. 'Into the Groove' is the story of recorded sound, from tin foil to vinyl.

Liz Ikamba - A British-Congolese (DRC) artist whose unique sound blends influences from across the African Diaspora—from Congolese folk and African rhythms, to dub-reggae, jazz, soul, and hip-hop—think Nina Simone, Sade, and Erykah Badu with a Congolese twist. Singing in English and Lingala, Liz weaves personal and ancestral stories of connection and longing, guiding listeners on a journey between the UK and DR Congo. Her interactive performances foster a sense of belonging in a shared, borderless musical community. Liz is also an experienced workshop facilitator and trainer, specialising in Trauma-informed, Creative Health and Inclusive Arts practice.

Caraline Brown - An author whose new book, Mrs Wilson's Children, tells the story of a legendary venue in Hull and the impact it had on her and so many others. Outside of writing, she's an award-winning PR expert.
