Sheddy Maria's 成人论坛 Music Introducing session
Live music from our socially-distanced virtual festival at Nozstock, near Bromyard.
Sheddy Maria is a brilliant artist who was born and raised in Malvern and makes polished pitch-perfect pop music.
Her tracks were inspired by a solo backpacking trip through Central and South America, which has given her songs a tropical edge.
She says, 鈥淵ou wouldn鈥檛 necessarily realise, in the stuff in the charts, that there鈥檚 a lot of elements of different cultural music coming into that anyway. I just like to touch on it because that鈥檚 my vibe - I don鈥檛 like to impersonate somebody, I am who I am.鈥
鈥淎 fun and charismatic performer with poignant lyrics delivered with heart and soul." - Andrew Marston
**How was it recorded?**
The stages at Nozstock are permanent and well away from any public right of way. With no pre-publicity, we risked no audience gathering and ensured all acts were six or less (even though the rules say 鈥渨orkers鈥 can be groups of more than six). Nozstock normally takes place in July, so nobody expected anything to be happening on that site in October (and the site is owned by the farmer who puts on the event).
Acts arrived on-the-hour, every hour, in separate vehicles and were called forward, had their hands sanitised and checked in with Nozstock's own Test & Trace QR code.
Whoever had to handle the equipment was the person providing it 鈥 so there were no back lines and mics/stands/cables were provided by the band. Once they were set up, the band left the stage and Andrew (the only person from the 成人论坛) then mic鈥檇 up the guitars, drums and fed the stage monitors (while wearing a face mask!). The stages were marked two metres apart 鈥 and, after the bands used their own mics for an interview, they got back into their vehicles and left. A couple of people from Nozstock then sanitised the whole stage before telling the next group it was safe to leave their vehicle and set up. Any band members wanting to watch/listen to the performance would have to virtually.
To keep staffing to an absolute minimum, these sessions were audio mixed and video edited remotely.
