About
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.
This is our final Sound Affects for the year and we've got a stellar night planned.
PUNK: The Last Word (Book launch) andMistletoe & Vinyl: The Story of the Christmas No.1 (Book launch).
Guest speakers:
Chris Sullivan & Stephen Colegraveon their new book,Punk: The Last Word. It's a chronicle that redefines punk not as a mere music genre or fashion statement, but as a free-thinking, egalitarian, DIY philosophy that continues to challenge societal norms and empower individuals to live authentically. Stephen Colegrave is a writer and the cofounder of Byline Times, Byline TV and Byline Festival. Chris Sullivan is a writer, promoter and DJ, who has been a key figure in underground style and music since the 1970s.
Marc Burrows- Author, culture journalist and comedian based in Bristol. At this event Marc will bring us a celebration of a uniquely British tradition: The Christmas number one. Where did it come from? Why are we the only country in the whole world that actually cares about it? And can it survive in 2025? Burrows, fresh from a critically lauded run at the Edinburgh Fringe with his show The Britpop Hour, celebrates the publication of his new book,Mistletoe & Vinyl: The Story of the Christmas No.1.
