Idle Chatter Venue In Salford, UK Opening Discussed

Source: ATTN:Magazine.

Idle Chatter is a brand new venue for experimental music in Salford. More than that, it’s a space where live performance comes first; a dedicated (and gorgeous) warehouse space for the enactment and experience of live artistry, capable of adapting to accommodate the entire spectrum of Manchester’s experimental music scene (skronk punk, live-coded improvisation, noise, modular synthesis…).

The collective behind Idle Chatter currently comprises David Birchall, Edwin Dorley, Hannah Ellul, Vitalija Glovackyte, Kelly Jayne Jones, Ben Knight, Manoli Moriaty, Will Tomlinson, Otto Wilberg and Sam Weaver. Below, we talk about the process of forging a community and the venue’s thoroughly exciting launch night on Thursday 22nd September.
