To celebrate this glorious occasion, there will a launch event held at The Leadmill, Sheffield on 29th April featuring:
RuthJoy (Krush)
Winston Hazel (Jive Turkey/Forgemasters)
two Sheffield artists who played an influential role in the birth of the UK House movement, playing House Arresting tracks that shaped their own sound and in turn playing tracks by current UK artists influenced by the Fonetic beats mastered all those years ago that continue to resonate to this day.
Ralph Razor (Razor Stilleto/Space Cabaret) will also be in the mix playing more essential 80′s tunes.
Sensoria folk will also be joining us to celebrate the closing night of what will no doubt be yet another successful festival

The Beat is The Law will be screened at Leeds University (25th-27th March) as part of a 3 day conference discussing the 84/85 Miners Stike including a rountable discussion about the film and the broader issues associated with the strike, Thatcher and the role music played in that period. This conference coincides with the 25th anniversary of the end of the strike.
Hopefully Russell Senior (Pulp) will be attending the conference. Others include David Peace (author of The Red Riding Trilogy and Damned United) and the photographer Martin Shakeshaft (who’s work we have incorporated into the film – see photo above)
Here’s a clip of Russell talking about the NUM leader Arthur Scargill:
