Bright Club: Noise

Event information

BANG CRASH WALLOP
WHAT A BRIGHT CLUB!!!!

This month we're laughing at noise, from sound to speech to all those extraneous things that make it harder to work out what the hell is going on out there.

Ringmaster tonight is Ed Gamble, the noisiest man we could find.

And in expert corner all of these brainboxes:

Giorgio Savini - A physicist and builder of delicate instrumentation, trying to make sense of the noise of the Universe

Mel Pinet - A speech and language scientist, who knows how we understand people when we just can't hear them

Harry Cliff - A high-energy physicist, who stares at readings of the inifinitesmal and hopes they're real

Jon Gallagher - a historian of English, who knows all the things normal people used to say, and what they sounded like

Sarah Morgan - an optometrist, who makes a glorious noise about the importance of eyecare

Steve Cross - Bright Club co-organiser, occasional sound engineer and music snob

And a surprise musical act (who hasn't texted back yet!).
