Wednesday 12th January - Hull Time Based Arts - Currents Lecture

He Heard a New World: The Legendary Joe Meek by John Repsch

Wednesday 12th January Lincoln Uni, George St Campus Hull 6 - 8pm FREE

Joe Meek was Britain's first independent pop record producer and one of the most important figures in Sixties popular music. Hated by his rivals for his secrecy and success, he paved the way for the thousands of independents who followed. The lecture will be given by John Repsch, writer of The Legendary Joe Meek. Repsch's busy career as an actor was side-tracked by the Meek biography project, and he has since written about pop music and environmental matters for several newspapers and magazines, and made many radio appearances. He is also a fervent campaigner with Friends of the Earth.

In his lecture, he will explain how it was Meek's early childhood and subsequent personality complexes that led to his becoming a pioneer of record production techniques but ultimately to his destruction. The talk will be illustrated with slides and some of Meek's recordings, both well-known and obscure.

Currents is a regular series of lectures presented by Hull Time Based Arts, Currents provides a theoretical approach to social and historical contexts and themes. Cultural commentators and writers will speak on a range of topics from the underground to the mainstream accompanied by diverse audiovisual supporting materials. These lectures are supported by Hull School of Media Technologies, and Hull School of Art and Design.
