The team behind the Tide Mills Project is thrilled to reveal the musical performances for the upcoming Heritage Celebratory Week, 20th – 26th September.

Complementing and interacting with the visual arts elements of the project, these performances will really bring the site back to life, with an atmosphere of celebration.

The Newhaven Festival has generously funded the Tide Mills Project’s newest community venture: The Tide Mills Community Choir. This choir will meet weekly at the Hillcrest Community Centre throughout September, learning new and old acapella songs, exploring the history of Tide Mills, focusing on the character and influence of the sea, as well as the legacy of local community spirit. The project is open to everyone, all ages and abilities, with no singing experience required, and will culminate in a performance at the Heritage Celebratory Week. Rehearsals will be led by Natural Voice choir director Ellen Muriel, using a simple call and response technique.

Come and get involved: it’s a great opportunity to meet new people, embrace a musical challenge and take part in a unique cultural experience! The choir will be launched with an open taster session at The Newhaven Festival at the end of August – get in touch to register your interest via the Tide Mills Project website.

There will be other fabulous performances too. Local singer-song writer Colin Chapman will perform specially composed songs about Tide Mills and the history of the site. Nigel Goss is creating soundscapes and music, which visitors will experience as they walk around the site. He will be working with the community to create music and soundscapes, building atmosphere and dramatic tension.

The three-piece acoustic band, The Kites will be giving intimate performances on site on Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th September. The legendary folk singers, The Copper Family, will be giving a very special live performance, entitled Sussex Song on Saturday 25th September. They will also provide some soundscape elements to the Tide Mills Project.

Finally, Mercury Music Prize Nominee Sam Lee will close the Heritage Celebratory Week with an exclusive concert, Singing with Waves. Sam is a highly inventive and original singer, folk song interpreter, a passionate conservationist, committed song collector and creator of live events. Alongside his organisation, Nest Collective, and fellow collaborators, Sam has shaken up the live music scene, breaking boundaries between folk and contemporary music.

The Tide Mills Project, devised and delivered by LYT Productions, is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Arts Council England, the South Downs National Park and Sussex Community Foundation. Learn more about the Tide Mills Project from the website: www.tidemillsproject.uk
