THE WELFORD EXPERIMENT<br />
In 1916 Dr Welford pioneered the use of headphones to influence a person’s mind. Dr Welford worked with patients, giving them<br />
instructions to see if they were more likely to comply wearing high-impedance 590 ohms headphones. The experiment has never been<br />
repeated, until now. Join us for a recreation of a major scientific experiment; the only rule is you must 100% obey the instructions you<br />
receive on the night.<br />

TIFF STEVENSON - MAD MAN<br />
What makes a person? Ideas, labels, sexuality or even slogan t-shirts? Products are anthropomorphised and cult of personality reigns<br />

People Just Do Nothing. As heard on Radio 4 Extra, 7 Day Saturday, Woman’s Hour and BBC Radio Scotland.<br />
