Adventures In The Electroverse: The Story

Join **Martyn Ware**, founding member of The Human League and Heaven 17, in conversation with **Holly Elson**, Head of Programmes at Conway Hall, as they discuss the story behind his Adventures in the Electroverse exhibition.

In this insightful discussion, Martyn will share the journey that led him from his working-class upbringing in Sheffield to the forefront of the Synth Britannia movement. He’ll talk about his close friendship with Phil Oakey, working with iconic artists like Tina Turner, and the role of politics in his music.

Drawing from his *Electronically Yours* podcast, Martyn will also explore his creative collaborations with a range of personalities, from Sandie Shaw and Boy George to Fatboy Slim and Jeremy Corbyn. The conversation will offer a glimpse into his thoughts on culture, humour, politics, and why Sheffield Wednesday will always have his heart.

This talk is a chance to hear directly from Martyn about the experiences, inspirations, and ideas behind *Adventures in the Electroverse*, as well as the personal and political themes that have shaped his work over the years.

Presented by Conway Hall.
