Last week, I had the pleasure of working with Children’s Capital of Culture in Rotherham for an amazing project — the 8-Bit Jam!

We introduced children to the magic of making music using vintage 8-bit video game machines, transforming classic technology into creative musical instruments. It was inspiring to see how curiosity and play can come together to create something truly unique.

A huge thank you to Rotherham and the entire team for letting me be part of this incredible initiative! 💡✨

Step into a retro-futuristic playground where video game consoles and home computers from the 1980s are turned into real-time instruments! ⌨🎶

In this unique jam session, take control of Commodore 64s, Amiga 1200s, Game Boys, Famicoms, NES consoles and more… 🤯

Part performance, part workshop, this is a chance to discover how the bleeps and bloops of early gaming can become beats, melodies and rhythms.

No musical training required — just curiosity, creativity and a love of play!

Cara Tolmie & Rian Treanor - “...
