Event description
We’re here to make a record.
It’s going to sound like this city.
It’s going to sound like us.
And it’s going to last forever.
A community comes together to record an album. To make a record of who they are, what they’re about, where they’ve come from and where they want to go. It’s about life and loss, memory and love, the things we choose to remember, the ways we choose to let go. There will be music and dancing, karaoke and DJs, a knockout house band and a massive disco ball. This is Sunderland writing its own history. It’s a celebration of everything we are. And everyone’s invited.
This explosive new show from Public Acts brings together a cast of over a hundred people to lift the roof off The Fire Station with the sound of Sunderland. Featuring music from The Futureheads’ Ross Millard, an incredible line up of local legends from Sunderland’s music scene, professional dancers and community groups.
