FRIDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER
Our first guest artists arrived and the Rockaway artists opened their studios. In the evening there were fantastic performances from Mess, Concrete Prairie and The Go Go Cult. A video of songs from each band will also appear soon on our YouTube channel.
SATURDAY 24th SEPTEMBER
A very busy and sunny day with more incredible guest artists, plus artist demonstrations, kinetic sculptures, printing workshops, kids activities and bubbles!
In the evening, we were mesmerised by three unique performances. Steve Lake's new show traced the history of protest in Britain, from the Norman Conquests to the present, with a powerful mix of poetry, prose and music. Dunstan Bruce's 'Am I Invisible Yet?' was a rollercoaster of despair, anger, love and ultimately hope. While Ray Mighty weaved his magic on the decks with superb mash-ups between performances, as well as to end the night. Unforgettable...
SUNDAY 25th SEPTEMBER
The last day was sunny and vibrant with more guest artists adding to the bustling creativity taking place. A video of highlights from the whole weekend is being put together and will also be available soon.
A massive thank you to everyone who made this such a special event - the amazing Rockaway artists and crew; the fantastic guest artists and performers, plus all our lovely visitors. Onto the next one...
