To the Beat of the Drum Podcast – Life in Lockdown
A series of 5 podcasts were released throughout Good Relations Week looking at the work of the Bands Forum over the past 10 years and its work during lockdown.
This episode was presented by Andrew Lynch, Londonderry Bands Forum Educational Outreach Officer and Stephen Porter, Londonderry bands Forum Co-Ordinator. A look at the Londonderry Bands Forum work and approach to adapting to working during lockdown. We looked at how the Forum adjusted some of their programmes to be able to continue during lockdown and how they were able to engage with a wider audience. We were also joined by Brian Dougherty from the North West Cultural Partnership that moved their Annual Fringe Festival online and how they adapted work during lockdown.
