DADADA Zine presents Pete Dale (solo, live)

We’re incredibly excited to be hosting DADADA Zine, which will present a pre-matinee solo performance by Pete Dale, of Milky Wimpshake and Knitting Circle fame, fresh from playing Hallamshire House the night before.

This will be an incredibly intimate, acoustic all-ages gig.

Appropriately, coffee and bakery treats from Meersbrook’s finest bakery I Said Bread will be available to perk you up!

About the performer/author:

Pete Dale studied at Sunderland Polytechnic 1989-92. On graduating, he played in several indie/punk underground bands (Pussycat Trash, Red Monkey, Milky Wimpshake) and set up the cult DIY label/distributor Slampt which ran very successfully between 1992 and 2000. Taking up school teaching in 2001, Pete completed an MA in Music (2005) and then a PhD at Newcastle (2010) whilst simultaneously working as a teacher. He took an early career fellowship at Oxford Brookes in 2012, subsequently becoming Senior Lecturer in Music at Manchester Metropolitan University in 2013 (2013-21). He is currently Lecturer in Music Education at University of York. His monographs include Anyone Can Do It: Tradition, Empowerment and the Punk Underground (Ashgate, 2012), Popular Music and the Politics of Novelty (Bloomsbury, 2016) and Engaging Students with Music Education: DJ Decks, Urban Music and Child-centred Learning (2017). A forthcoming monograph on the evolution of indie as a genre across the 1980s is currently near completion. Pete is associate editor of the Punk & Post–Punk journal and a founding member of the Punk Scholars Network.
