Tyneside Sounds Society #16 - Chopwell, Communists & Dead Anglo Saxons

The Tyneside Sounds Society is a monthly broadcast dedicated to the recording and reinterpretation of the sonic environment and sound heritage of Tyneside in the North East of England.

Chopwell is an isolated rural village in West Gateshead with a really interesting heritage. Enduring bitter 50 mph winds and below freezing wind chill TSS venture out to unearth the occult sounds of Anglo Saxon burial mounds and explore the communist roots of this erstwhile industrialised Tyneside village. Less slow radio and more of a sludge sonic escapade - Thanks to Chopwell residents John & Nina who served as our guides and Tim Shaw for the sonic paranormal investigative apparatus.
