M J M Gilkes has written a book called

1946 – (E) P G B Barker is
on the point of returning to Ghana for a further
three-month research trek. He is working on a book 40
Ghana peoples describing the north of Ghana and its
peoples, way of life, religions. The book reflects the
annual devastation of "bush burning" which has an almost
ritual significance for some (mastering the mysterious
power of the savannah and its snakes and dangers), a
food significance for others (burn the bush, expose the
wild life, and kill it for food) and climate change
significance for the more far-sighted. Bush burning is
officially banned in some parts, but quite impossible to
police. It is responsible for extinction of the large
game species, and devastation of what is left of the
sub-Sahelian forest.

1998
– (F) J B Walker - Ben’s Big Gig – 1st
May 2009 – North Wall
Ben and his musicans sold
out the 200-seat theatre and had an online audience of
about 300. The sound was great, the people had a good
time, 500 Twitter messages floated past on the big
screen, and Ben said he “almost remembered all the
lyrics”.
“Wandering through the lobby after the
show, I saw a lot of smiles. It was a “feel-good” gig,
and I can’t help but think that part of that was due to
the feeling of involvement everyone got from the Twitter
messages coming in from the outside. Everyone felt part
of a bigger event.
I saw the Big Gig as an
experiment from the start, and because of that I made
some tricky decisions about the technology we used. If
the gig was a success, I wanted it to be something
others could use, recreate and build on. What do you do
after a Big Gig? A bigger gig? Smaller gigs, or
something else entirely? We haven’t figured that out
yet. But what we know is that we learned a lot by
putting on such an ambitious event without a label, a
manager, a promoter or a sponsor. And part of the Big
Gig plan was to share that learning with the community
so that musicians (and others) can build on our
success”.
