Ramsgate in its Own Words
With Ramsgate Radio and James Harrup
| Friday 1 May, 4:30–7pm |
| Arts in Ramsgate, 46 High Street |
| FOOD WILL BE SERVED Vegan dahl + Indian rice pudding by Chef Gita from 4:30pm No need to book, just drop in. |
Over the past few weeks we've been out in the town - and at the Friday drop-in - with a big red microphone. Asking people to talk. About their favourite places. What makes them proud. What makes them feel safe. What song they'd choose as Ramsgate's theme.
Those voices have been woven together with the sounds of the town itself into a radio show.
On 1 May, come and listen to the show with us.
"Beauty and peace, prosperity and pride. Safe harbour, open arms. All together, Ramsgate is rising."
The space will be safe, warm and welcoming and food will be served. No performance, no schedule, nothing you need to do. Just a room full of Ramsgate sounds and voices - your neighbours, your town - playing back to you.
And you might recognise some people in the portraits - Jake, James, Pedro, Jemma, Paul, Sylvie, Gemma, Bev, Theresa and more.
This is a low pressure event - stay five minutes or stay the whole evening. Come on your own, bring someone who needs a quiet moment, or just wander in.
This is exactly what we mean by safe harbour, open arms.
Listen on the radio!
The show will be broadcast on May 1st, and will be available on demand. Click here to hear the full audio piece on Ramsgate Radio.
