The 2010 Universal Value Commission has been awarded to Sue Palmer and Joff Winterhart. The artists are producing interdisciplinary, site-responsive work which explores the relationship we have to the surrounding coast, examining geographies of heritage and creativity, culture and location.
Sue and Joff and their virtuoso friend Simon Roberts have recorded the No 1 Single in the studio this week.

No 1 bus single - limited edition CD release
Sue and Joff have been working on the No 1 Bus travelling between Weymouth and Portland. On selected days over the festival, they will be encountering and meeting with the passengers and drivers of the number one – talking, drawing and songwriting. By going there and back, collecting and giving, they will be meeting people on the bus and at the stops along the way.
Through these exchanges of words and drawings over the festival, they will write a (b-side) single especially for the bus. The No 1 song will be ‘released’ on the last Saturday of the festival.
The work was made during the B-Side Festival in Weymouth and Portland on the No 1 Bus.
Short films, drawings and other artwork collected during the journeys on the bus will be available via the PVA MediaLab website after the festival.
