As they revel in the festivities, musicians valiantly attempt to overpower the cacophony of fast-moving traffic with their melodious tunes. This tea party was a delightful culmination of a five-week course for first-year Lanchester Polytechnic students who had been engrossed in an intriguing recording project at both the roundabout and nearby Whitefriars Abbey. Their creative endeavors encompassed various forms of media, including photography, drawing, filming, and even casting objects found within these locations.
