IN CONVERSATION
Renowned media experts and seminal electronic musicians - to be announced shortly - will be joining original BBC Radiophonic Workshop members Peter Howell, Roger Limb, Dick Mills and Paddy Kingsland, as well as archivist Mark Ayres, to honour and assess the Workshop's half-century odyssey into electronica.
IN CONCERT
In the evening there will be a concert in the university's 230-capacity Showroom Theatre - a unique opportunity to get up close to one of the most influential outfits in the history of electronic music, technological innovators and creators of the Doctor Who theme and much else.
With their impressive back catalogue being comprehensively reissued on vinyl and CD, an album of new compositions - Electricity - on the way, and a spectacular live show featuring archive footage from film and TV spanning their extraordinary 55-year career, the rebirth of this pioneering group is something not to miss.
