Universe of Sound, Municipal Bank

For inspiring use of technology to create immersive sound experience in a Bank (the thick walls and well sound insulated room did help, but really could have been anywhere) this was really fun for all our family, and another great exhibition at the Municipal Bank, which lets hope can establish itself as a very different sort of arts venue on Westside.


The way the orchestra was 'broken up' into it's various parts for you to wander through, with a range of fun musical experiences to have a go at, really caught imagination of everyone in my family.  These sort of simulations are really hard to get right, but when they are, they're awesome!

Life's Rich Pageant

It's 1938 and Birmingham councillors are under pressure to do something to celebrate the centenary of the city, when Cllr Rigby suggests putting on the biggest pageant the world has ever seen.  Birmingham History Theatre Company document the trials and trivialisations of a pageant documenting the whole of Birmingham's history, from the stone age to 1938 (with a little artistic licence).

"But it's all part of life's rich pageant, you know?" as Peter Sellers would have put it:

Hello World

Hello World!

I am Ian Edwards and I work for St. Paul’s Community Development Trust in Balsall Heath, where I have been involved in all aspects of arts and cultural activities for the last 30 years.

St. Paul’s has recently taken over the coordinating role for the Hall Green Arts Forum from Marcus, who has done sterling work over the last year. It is my intention to aid the Forum to build on the links and cooperation that Marcus put in place during his year as coordinator. I am sure you will all join me in thanking Marcus for the work he has done helping to raise the profile of arts & cultural activities in Hall Green.

The Future

I am very interests to know what people would like out the HGAF and how we can reach out to potential new members. Your thought will be very welcome!

I am also keen to know about any plans or dates for events, activities installations, exhibitions, plays, workshops or anything else of a vaguely arty or cultural nature, so that I can help advertise it to the widest possible audience.

Save The Date!

I am hoping that we can hold the next Arts Surgery on the evening of 23^rd May, I will send out an invitation as soon as we have a venue!

How To Find me
