‘Close Knit’ is an animated documentary, talking to real people and telling the story of life in South East Northumberland. It is inspired by the Aardman Classic ‘Creature Comforts’.

To help bring our film to life, we need your help. What are the sounds and tunes that are rooted in the culture of South East Northumberland? Whether it’s the unique sound of the Northumbrian pipes, a rousing brass band that represents our mining heritage or, if you weren’t born here, a piece of music that reminds you of home.

Please get in touch.

Our sound artist Alison Carlier and filmmaker Amanda Loomes will be visiting Northumberland between 18th and 21st October and they will be bringing their microphones and recording equipment with them!

If you have any suggestions, please email Bridie Jackson before Friday 8 October.
