Reveal Hull
three brown lines that look like they are from an old fashioned cassette player


Diamond Life is an immersive sound walk dipping in and out of 60 years of Hull's music scene in under 60 minutes!

It is narrated by the Hull comedian, actor and writer Lucy Beaumont and features interviews with Roland Gift of the Fine Young Cannibals; folk legends Eliza Carthy and Martin Carthy; industrial music pioneer Cosey Fanni Tutti of Throbbing Gristle/Carter Tutti; Steve Cobby from Fila Brazilla; Lou Duffy Howard bass player in Red Guitars; Lynda Harrison from Mandy and The Girlfriends; Paul Jackson and Paul Sarel from The New Adelphi Club; Nigel 'Kobby' Taylor; Jodie Langford; Wench and Jonny Trunk from Trunk Records. The walk will take approximately 60 minutes on a route around the Old Town, taking in some of the key sights.

If you’re planning to listen whilst walking the Old Town route, make sure you switch on Location Services on your iphone or android.

Have a look at the route map above. Click on the pin icon on the top left of the map (underneath the zoom in and zoom out icons). The blue dot locates you on the map, so you can see where you are on the route. The walk is circular and will take about an hour. You can pause the cassette at any time.

Get your headphones or earbuds at the ready and you're off! Walk safely and remember you'll be crossing a few roads.

As you walk, look out for a series of ten orange Reveal Hull signs. At each sign, you can use your phone camera to scan the augmented reality (AR) markers for bonus added extras! Will you discover all ten AR surprises?!
