This month, Behind the Scenery is all about the creation of sound in Cumbria.

Sound creator and creative Dan Fox is Director of Ulverston based Sound Intervention. He says there are five ways of making sound - hit, pluck, blow, bow and sing. He was commissioned to create an 18 minute soundscape for the Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership . Dan talks about where his interest in sound came from, and how he went about recording sound for the commission.

For the occasional series of the sound of Cumbrian creatives at work, Julie Jackson got in touch from Kirkby in Furness. She describes herself as an embroiderer who also spins and weaves. She's also a teacher. She shared the sound of her working with her spinning wheel. Listen and enjoy !

And Tom Salmon talks to Holly Brooke, a young Cumbrian singer songwriter and producer who started pursuing a career in music earlier in 2022. Holly plays her debut single for us and talks about how she sees opportunities for basing a career in Cumbria.

Tom Speight bases himself at The Swan Inn in Cockermouth this month, one of his favourite thinking places. He’s joined by the Chair of Cumbria Arts and Culture Network, Kate Parry to reflect on the Cumbria Arts and Culture Network’s year, a year of substantial growth and consolidation, as well as to look to the future.
