Website upgrade | redesign

Over the next few weeks this website is going to be upgraded and re-designed. The internet moves rapidly and we are endeavouring to improve how this website works with mobiles, tablets and other devices. If the site looks a little odd on occasion it’s because some upgrading is going on behind the scenes and a further announcement will be made when it’s complete.

NMB Podcasts

by Roger | Jun 8, 2015 | Uncategorized

Having interviewed several composers and musicians associated with New Music Brighton for Radio Free Brighton a few years ago, I thought it would be of general interest to post the interviews on the NMB’s own website. Some of the original recordings from the radio programme (called MusTalk, incidentally) are included, but others are more recent, including interviews with Ken Jones, Barry Mills, Ric Graebner and Clive Whitburn. The interviews incorporate much of the music which is discussed so that anyone can listen and also hear the composers talk about it.

Composers and performers represented, or who will be represented are: Ken Jones, Ric Graebner, Barry Mills, Clive Whitburn, Peter Owen, Debbie Bridge, Helen Glavin, Roger Harmar. Several more are planned.
