New songs inspired by the local landscape and locations throughout the county and region will be released online for a worldwide audience by The Dock throughout April in The Sky From Here, a series of exclusive streamed performances.
The intention of the project is to shine a positive light on the region and to bring communities together in celebration of their localities.
The Dock commissioned four groups of musicians to compose the songs and then recorded them performing their new work as part of full-length gigs. The individual songs will be released as especially produced videos that will include images of the local landscape interwoven with the performances.
