Hear Here – 2011

- You Tube (01) Coastal Voices – B Sharp & Billy Bragg songwriting workshop
- You Tube (02 Coastal Voices – B Sharp & Billy Bragg songwriting workshop
Written and conceived by young people from Lyme Regis and the surrounding area, Hear Here will tell a contemporary story/interpretation of ‘life’ in Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
Legendary singer songwriter Billy Bragg has been working with composer John K Miles, B Sharp trainees, St Michael’s year 5, Woodroffe GCSE music group and the B Sharp core group, to inspire and develop lyrical starting points for Hear Here and the Coastal Voices commission.
Hear Here is divided into four parts:
- Song writing & instrumental composition with John K Miles. (July-Oct. Performance October 20th.)
- Sonic art, recording & tec with Glyn Bush & Ralph Cree (Nov -May)
- Visual art – VJ ing with Dizzi (Nov-May)
- Singing & songwriting with Sammy Hurden (first session Tues 15th Nov 6.30 – 8.45)
- Combined Performance of all Hear Here parts – May 6th 2012 TBC.
Each part will be structured around a series of workshops culminating in performance and installation. The finished compositions will function as stand-alone pieces, whilst connecting with each part of Hear Here and the wider Coastal Voices. All works will be available for further commissioning.
Thank you to all that took part and made this project special.
Note. RE Charges for performance. It is B Sharps intention that nobody should ever be excluded from any performance or workshop because of hardship. Please contact Fran if you ever need to take up this offer.

As parents of one of the drummers we went to see Coastal Voices at the Hear Here concert and thought it both beautiful and fascinating. Billy Bragg, John Miles and the teenagers were amazing.

Hi everyone, B sharp was incredible! All that hard work really payed off. This was my favourite workshop with B sharp so far and i am definately going to do a lot more. The performances went amazingly well and i enjoyed every moment of it! Thanks so much to John for his amazing work with us, it would never have been so proffessional without him. I look forward to working with him again.
