Urban Strawberry Lunch [SEP] location of formation
Urban Strawberry Lunch
Urban Strawberry Lunch (USL) are a Liverpool based group who make music on everyday objects. Formed by Benjamin F Tin and Ambrose Reynolds in 1987, USL began making their own musical instruments after a fire destroyed all of their (uninsured) musical instruments. Among other activities, they are known for their performances and music festivals hosted within Liverpool's landmark "bombed-out church", the Church of St Luke, Liverpool.
USL operate in three interrelated areas:
- Composing, performing and
II* listed buildings.
Present day.
From 2007 till 2014, Urban Strawberry Lunch organised the day-to-day maintenance of St Lukes and coordinated a diverse calendar of regular exhibitions and events inside the grounds. In addition to this, they arranged showings of films, and many dance, poetry, and drama performances.
Since 2014 to present day, Ambrose Reynolds, former Artistic Director for Urban Strawberry Lunch, joined other members of the community to create a new organisation, 'Bombed Out Church';
