Every group keeps a record.

A loose network of venue workers and artists who began preserving recordings after several performances appeared in audience memories but not on camera.

Producer Nia Calder coordinates bookings; decisions are made by the venue crews hosting the event.

Promoters, sound engineers, door staff, archivists, and a rotating community safety team.

Relationships

AlliesNight bus operators, local journalists, Ashmarket venues, student arts organizations.

OppositionExploitative promoters, predatory collectors, and online audiences seeking identifiable witnesses.

Resources and equipment

Stages, sound systems, trust, performance archives, and the ability to gather a room quickly.

Audio recorders, lighting rigs, analogue mixers, door radios, and emergency venue kits.

Headquarters

A shared office and rehearsal room above the Lantern Theatre.

VehiclesA battered cargo van, touring minibus, and late-night transit passes for crew.
