Make Noise 2017
One of the UK’s most original
music and recycling projects returns to Wales
Have you ever thought about what happens to all of the broken electrical items that get thrown away every day? What better way to recycle your old items than to recycle them in exchange for entry to a free gig.
Typically, many broken electrical items get put in the bin when they can be recycled by local authorities at local collection points such as Household Waste Recycling Centres. You can bring along any electrical item smaller than a microwave, or that has a plug or battery in it and get free entry to the Make Noise Wales 2017 gigs.
Make Noise started in 2010 and is a unique partnership between ERP (European Recycling Platform) and Heavenly Recordings, joined this year by Resource Efficiency Wales. Since it began, Make Noise has packed out venues all around the UK and recycled tonnes of electronic waste.
Following last year’s first ever Welsh tour (which
was nominated for two National Recycling Awards) Make Noise Wales returns
in 2017 for dates in Blackwood, Ebbw Vale, Merthyr Tydfil and Talgarth. Special guests this year include Sweet Baboo plus supporting slots from Heavenly artist and former Welsh Music
Prize nominee H.Hawkline and one of Wales’ most exciting new acts Boy
Azooga.
The Make Noise manifesto remains the same:
programming exciting and innovative music events and making entry 100% FREE in
exchange for a piece of electrical recycling. Party goers
just need to bring something to hand over at the door; a broken mobile phone,
hairdryer or laptop - anything with a plug or a battery!
The first date took place on Saturday 16th
September in Blackwood. Following the launch Make Noise will head to Merthyr
Tydfil’s Redhouse on Saturday 7th October for a special all ages
daytime show, the Ebbw Vale Institute on Friday 13th October
and finishing up in one of the country’s most unique small venues, The
Tabernacle in Talgarth (14th October) owned and run by music industry
legend Alan Mcgee.
Why not introduce a Make Noise 2017 Challenge into your class by asking children to bring in their own gadgets for recycling and get them to predict how many they can collect and how much they weigh in total? Winners can receive a suitable prize to encourage recycling, or you could arrange your very own gig for them to enjoy.
