  • Tideway's Public Art Strategy
    PUBLIC ART STRATEGY ART ON THE TIDEWAY: TURNING TO FACE THE RIVER Contemporary Culture Liquid History | 1 Foreword In the mid-nineteenth century my great great grandfather, Joseph Bazalgette, devised London’s sewage and waste water system to tackle the cholera that was carried by a grossly polluted Thames. We affectionately call him ‘The Drain Brain’. His system’s success means it only now needs updating, 150 years on, when the city is four times the size. The need today may seem less obvious but without it our metropolis can’t continue to function as a safe, growing place to live and work. The Thames Tideway Tunnel is a grand, ambitious project. It will create new public amenities along the river. Challenging artists to bring all this to life celebrates the project while sharpening our sense of place. Just as the art, architecture and design of the Victorian Embankments and pumping stations expressed the spirit of that age. I am delighted that Tideway has launched a Public Art Strategy and Art Programme. The strong link between the Public Art and the Heritage Interpretation Strategies fuses the power of heritage and contemporary art. The artists will have rich themes to build on: the River Thames’s ecology, shared public space, our personal and community identities as well as a nod to the city’s changing fabric. Even during construction, hoardings created by artists and school children will challenge and delight. I’m a fervent believer in the power of arts and culture to improve our quality of life. This is what will happen here, both above and below ground.

  • Learning Manx Songs Now Made Easy Learning the Traditional Songs of the Isle of Man Has Never Been Easier Thanks to a New Release of 47 Free Audio Tracks Online
    Mean Souree 2020 June Learning Manx songs now made easy Learning the traditional songs of the Isle of Man has never been easier thanks to a new release of 47 free audio tracks online. Materials to learn sixteen Manx Gaelic songs have been released online by Culture Vannin, with sheet music, pronunciation guides, demonstrations and piano accompaniment now all freely available on the Culture Vannin website. Singers can learn each song with the help of Annie Kissack who pronounces the Manx Gaelic lyrics and demonstrates how to perform it. In addition, there are piano accompaniments to sing along to at home. These piano accompaniments were arranged by Dr Fenella Bazin for her Manx folk songbook “Ree ny Marrey” (published by Culture Vannin) and they are performed by Manx Music Development Officer for Culture Vannin, Dr Chloe Woolley. Chloe said; “I often have enquiries from teachers who need assistance with pronouncing the Manx Gaelic songs, so a few years ago, Annie Kissack very kindly recorded some audio guides for the schools. We selected 16 songs from Ree ny Marrey, which is a lovely book of songs with simple piano accompaniments. The songs are suitable for singers of all ages though, and so we’re pleased to now share these resources with an even wider audience.” Titles include a range of popular and lesser known songs; • Arrane Queeyl Nieuee - Spinning Song • Arrane ny Fee Weaving Song • Arrane ny Niee Washing Song • Birlinn Ghorree Chrovan • My Caillin Veg Dhone • Churning Song Churnal Jiu • Manannan Song • Arrane Ben Vlieaun Milking Song • Fer ny Clein Click • Sea Invocation • Lhigey Lhigey • Oikan ayns Bethlehem • Shiaull Ersooyl Sail Away • Smuggler's Lullaby • Tra va Ruggit Chreest • Ushag Veg Ruy Little Red Bird PTO >> In this month’s edition..
