Last night was what we hope is the first of many ‘Knowing Me Knowing You’ events, which aims to put a name to a face and hear about some of the exciting stuff people are doing in Birmingham. We had presentations from Dan Davies Hash Brum, Ben Waddington a local historian, a new housing co-op which as of yet has no name, illustrator Ben Javens, Sara Fowles of Needles & Hooks/Stitches & Hos, Sarah one third of a new collective of music promoters Heat & Light, graphic designer Mark Murphy, Jon Bounds of Birminghams Not Shit.com, Stuart & Ben from First Fold Records, the remarkable Kipple and Charlie and her cake orchestra.

This event was in co-hosted with Created In Birmingham at VIVID

Wouldn’t it be lovely if we all just talked a bit more? I feel so distant from you. What the devil are you up to? If you’re doing something super awesome, got some plans under your creative sleeves, putting on interesting gigs, exhibitions and the like then tell people about it at this little talky talky chit chat in association with Created In Birmingham.

Featured folks include ATTA Girl, Scott Johnson aka Film Ficciones, Stephen Earl Rogers, James Yarker of Stans Cafe, local historian Ben Waddington, illustrator extraordinaire Ben Javens to name but a few.

In the interval, pindec will be playing her Cake Orchestra: a cake-music interface for people without much musical ability but with an interest in cakes (i.e. pindec). The Cake Orchestra is composed of several sets of cakes, each with an instrument noise pre-assigned. Moving the cakes around on the playing surface triggers the instruments. Guaranteed to be more edible than a real orchestra.
This is a FREE EVENT
