The Black Bird Collective

The Barrel House Ballroom and The Black Bird Collective, through Arts Council funding, have curated this series of 8 video sessions.

Anyone who has attended the Black Bird Open mic nights knows that Christian Murison brings so many great artists out of the woodwork and into the warm setting of The Totnes Brew Co.

With this mind we have created something that feels in keeping to the open mic, a series of video sessions showcasing a diverse and eclectic mix of local talent.
