Freeness has teamed up with Late Junction, our sibling show for adventurous music on Radio 3 to curate a stage at this year's TUSK festival. A revered annual festival for experimental sounds based in Newcastle, TUSK is happening virtually this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Together we鈥檝e invited three ensembles to BLANK studios to record an exclusive, socially distanced session for broadcast across both programmes.

On the bill is a first-time collaboration between electronic artist Stephen Bishop and turntablist Mariam Rezaei; the left-field folk duo of Cath and Phil Tyler and a new quartet called 颁补谤枚尘 put together by the double-bassist Andy Champion, a central figure on the North East jazz scene.

And if that still isn鈥檛 enough, there are also highlights from the rest of TUSK VIrtual 2020鈥榮 exciting line up.
