Interviewing FH Loyd workers
Interviewing former factory workers
By Katie Shipley - 2nd May, 2011
On 30th April a few of the Voice 21 young people and I went along to the F.H.Loyd reunion event at Wednesbury Museum & Art Gallery. There were lots of people there with plenty of stories to tell so, armed with recorders and cameras, the young people went out into the crowds to interview the people there. We came back with lots of interesting stories and recordings that will be included in the exhibition in August at Haden Hill House and may even be heard through the Sandwell Foghorn that Julian has commissioned.
