http://www.m12.org.uk, Venue will be announced on the night. This is not a hoax!
Some of you might have already heard about it, others will have already signed up as a volunteer while most of you will be wondering what all the fuss is about…
’Shakedown ‘05′ will bring together the diversity of Nottingham’s cultural life (live bands, DJs, visual artists, performance artists) at this very big one-off non-profit DIY all-night event that tries to bring together as large a variety of people, music and arts as possible. Showcasing the best of Nottingham’s sound systems, party collectives, breakdance crews, clubs, bars, art exhibitions, and community groups, people will be shaking down to 12 hours of solid Jump-up Live Party Hip Hop, Heavy Dub Reggae, Hard House, Pissed off Punk Rock, Horny Horns Ska, Dirty Drum & Bass, Rabble Rousing Folk, Banana Broken Beats, Beef hearty-Hillbilly Funk, Filthy Techno, Boogie Blues, Warped-out Punk Disco, Skankin’ Soul and Jolly Jungle.
Shakedown ‘05 also aims to raise awareness of some global issues such as world poverty, climate change and global institutions such as the World Bank, IMF and the G8. Stalls, film showings and a cocktail bar run by various campaign groups will try to raise awareness of these issues among people in a positive way.
