UPFRONT AROUND THE UK
NEW AMY
DOC ON
THE WAY
Keep your eyes peeled for a new film about the life
of the late soul singer Amy Winehouse. Called Back
to Black, it tells the story behind her final album of the
same name and features previously unseen footage and
interviews with the likes of Mark Ronson, who produced
the album. A bonus feature shows footage of Winehouse
playing a small show at Riverside Studios in London, in
2008. Release date is 2 November.
PUSHING THE
BOUNDARIES
From the synth pop days
of The Human League via the
IDM movement spearheaded
by Warp Records, on
through bleeps and bass
and The Black Dog’s techno,
Sheffield has always had
a vital music scene with a
unique character.
Continuing in that tradition
of forward-thinking and
experimental music is No
Bounds festival. Its debut
last year made a real impact,
and the 2018 edition, running
12 – 14 October, is worthy of
anyone’s attention.
Additions for this year
include a special Improv
Stage, while the rest of
the festival plays out over
eight venues across the
city, including Hope Works,
Trafalgar Warehouse and
Heeley Swimming Pool.
There’s an extensive
programme of talks, film
screenings, panels and
workshops planned, with
topics covered including
coding and modular
synthesis, while thoughtprovoking
artists like Aïsha
Devi, rhythm innovator
Errorsmith (above), New
York outfit Machine Woman,
China’s live specialist Object
Blue, Planet Mu boss Mike
Paradinas and Berlin’s Paula
Temple all line-up.
