Dogs of Hastings Soundwork
By Nigel Barrett & Louise Mari with AK/DK
The Dogs of Hastings Soundwork is now live!
During Spring 2022 the artists Nigel Barrett & Louise Mari walked around the beaches, streets and parks of Hastings and St Leonards talking to people about their dogs and the place they live.
The Dogs of Hastings soundwork was launched with a Dog Mini-Golf event in St Leonards, where audiences were able to play a 10 hole mini-golf against their dog.
These recorded conversations have now been mixed together and set to music by Brighton based synth punk rockers AK/DK as a celebration of Hastings and St Leonards, its beautiful beaches, parks and green spaces, its dogs and the people who love them. Listen below or on Spotify.
