29Sunbeam worked with videosmith Sam Meech on a project called MusicSEEN.

The idea was to provide basic camera skills training, video editing training, camera equipment and editing facilities to Big Issue vendors and enable them to film live performances of Liverpool bands.

They were able to prepare for the live shoots by filming a private performance of the band ‘Wave Machines.’

Participants (all of whom are Big Issue vendors) went on to document performances by ‘Sparkwood & 21‘ and ‘Revenge Tragedies‘ at Liverpool’s Barfly venue. They were able to edit tracks from each band back at Liverpool’s Big Issue office.
