AHEAD of Record Store Day, the Dock Museum will play host to a unique sound event.

On Thursday April 20, artist John Hall teams up with vocalist and DJ Ste Tyson and musician Damo Rose for an evening of vintage BBC Sound Effects, Field Recordings made in and around Barrow, and unusual items from John's vinyl collection.

John and Ste will man the turntables to mix and overlay the vinyl, making a maritime-themed sound collage in which you'll hear tugboat sirens and fog horns, machinery, music, outboard motors, seabirds, comic voices, coughs and sneezes, and many other sounds, combined with a collection of new recordings made around town by Damo in recent weeks.

The sound effects records have been provided by BBC Radio Cumbria. John went through their record collection a couple of years ago while working on an archives project, and played his odder finds on Gordon Swindlehurst's afternoon show.

Ste, who regularly DJs at Ulverston's Hope And Anchor and sings with local band The Prophets, has joined John for several shows using these fascinating bits of vinyl. Damo, a familiar figure on the local music scene and sound technician with the Ashton Group's Theatre Factory, joins them for the first time for the Dock Museum show.

The show is part of John's 2017 Seasoning project, and takes place a couple of days before the national celebration of vinyl, Record Store Day.

The free show on Thursday 20 gets under way at 7.30pm.
