Creative Routes
Creative Routes - Deadbeat International at Liberty 2005.
Sarah Tonin talks to Joe McConnell about the Creative Routes Company, one of the most exciting organisations to emerge from the survivor arts scene in the last few years.
Jazz singer Maggie Nichols and psychedelic violinist Chas de Swiet joined a powerful cluster of musicians in a jazz-impro-fusion-flavoured performance, which unfolded in a dizzying rotation of different combos delivering a set of powerful numbers raging against toxic psychiatry. Lloyd Lindsay's rap fusion number Statute of Liberty was particularly memorable and the performance culminated with a fusion of samba, rock and rap.
- Review of Liberty Festival, dao, September 2005
The high point of last year's Liberty Festival was beyond doubt the performance of the Creative Routes Company - Deadbeat International.
The good news is that Deadbeat International are performing again at this year's Liberty Festival, which will take place on 2 September. I caught up with Sarah Tonin, founder of award-winning Creative Routes, to find out more.
