TRANSmission
One signal, a multiverse of young artists. A free afternoon of live music for all ages — rising new talent, a song unheard for sixty years, and the Dana Gillespie × TAM story told in twelve songs.
One Sunday, in three movements
TRANSMISSION runs as a single continuous afternoon — arrive when you like, settle in, and stay for the story that closes it.
Ignition — Part Two
The newest artists of the TAM Open Music Academy take the stage for their first full showcase — some stepping into the spotlight for the very first time. This is where musical journeys begin.
Transmission
The artists who have been building since the first Ignition step forward, festival-ready — full headline-length sets, real production, weeks before they play Everywhere At Once. The last time you'll see them in this room before the rest of the country does.
Sixty Years in Twelve Songs
The first cohort performs the Dana Gillespie × TAM story — six decades of British music, carried by the generation just starting out, with Dana herself in the room.
Sixty Years in Twelve Songs
The sixty-year story isn't told by Dana alone — it's carried by the young artists themselves. Twelve songs across six decades of Dana Gillespie's life in music, placed in the hands of the first cohort of the TAM Open Music Academy. Here are three of them.
Foolish Seasons
A song Dana wrote in 1966 and never performed live. After sixty years, this is its first-ever performance on a stage.
Enter Gemma's microverse →Mother Don't Be Frightened
From Dana's album Weren't Born A Man, recorded during her years at MainMan — the management home she shared with her then-labelmate David Bowie.
Enter Iris's microverse →Space Oddity
The song Bowie first played to Dana in her bunker — thirty minutes after he had finished writing it.
Enter Albie's microverse →Signals from the multiverse
Two threads of the story you'll hear live at TRANSMISSION — Dana Gillespie herself, and the song that travels furthest across the set.
Featured artists
Each young artist is a world of their own — a microverse in the wider TAM multiverse. The Open Music Academy uses the TAM platform to accelerate emerging talent, from first performance to national stage.
