Birmingham Jazz and Birmingham Town Hall‘s resonance events are well worth catching when they’re on. The last one was in October and featured the Heritage Orchestra and Lizzy Parks among others. A vid’s just gone up on YouTube with a couple of interviews that captures things really rather well.
The second resonance events soiree will happen at the Town Hall on Friday 3 October featuring a host of local talent as well as the very excellent Heritage Orchestra performing the songs of Amon Tobin. Musically, we’re talking jazz and hip hop but soul, leftfield, classical and any number of other styles will feature.
Here’s the full line-up:
- The Heritage Orchestra
- Lizzy Parks (album launch)
- DJ Cro hosting 2 and a half hours of local MC talent including Ko-Syne (Soulthump, Livebox), SPX (Kung Funk), Redbeard (Eat Good) and more
- Visuals by Chromatouch
It’s competition time!

You can also have a nosey at the interview with Mary Wakelam, of Birmingham Jazz, who co-promotes these events.
Frankie Ward interviews Mary Wakelam of Birmingham Jazz and they discuss winning her BBC bursary, her new band Maylight, Rush Hour Blues, bringing jazz into Birmingham’s music venues, Gigbeth and resonance events:
Tomorrow I’ll be offering some tickets for the next resonance events shindig at the Town Hall. There might be a question from the interview, so take notes.
