Nelson Overheard – creating a sound map of a Lancashire town

In early 2024, artists Rob St John and Tommy Perman worked with people from the town of Nelson in Lancashire to create a community sound map of their local area. This podcast follows the story of the sound map, and what it can tell us about the past, present and future of the town. The podcast features Rob, Tommy, Andy Abbott, Shabaz Ahmed and the voices of community collaborators. Nelson Overheard is a new artist commission for the Nelson Re-imagined strand of This is Nelson. https://www.in-situ.org.uk/nelsonoverheard
