The Strange Story of Bone Music - Brighton

  • X-Ray Audio Clerkenwell Green London, EC1R United Kingdom (map)

Join us in Brighton for a very special evening at The Catalyst Club

Leningrad 1946, the Cold War:
All culture in the USSR is subject to the brutal control of a totalitarian state censor. But music-mad bootleggers devise an incredible and risky way to listen to and share the music they love, copying forbidden songs onto used X-ray film and creating their own records..

Who were they? Why did they do it and how was it even possible?


Stephen Coates tells the secret history of these ‘Bone’ bootlegs of forbidden music cut onto x-ray - and of the people who made, played and paid for them.
