Tyneside Sounds Society #4 - Memorynet

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.

This episode: Michael McHugh exhibits an oblique portrait of Tyneside’s rich maritime history, drawing on a selection of interviews from the Tyne & Wear Archives & Museum’s 2005 Memorynet project.

MemoryNet was a large oral history and photography dedicated to the recording and documentation of the cultural heritage and life experiences of people connected to the sea and the coastal communities of Tyne & Wear in the North East of England.
