Ep 94: The Geek Pop Music Festival

Geek Pop is the world’s only sci-pop festival - a free online music event featuring songs about science. The festival brings together science-inspired artists from around the globe in a gleeful celebration of geek culture. In 2009, Geek Pop will take place between 6-15th March.

This week on the podcast I spoke to Hayley Birch, the organiser of Geek Pop, about the festival, where the idea came from and what type of music we can look forward to.

You can subscribe to Geek Pop updates by sending an email to news@geekpop.co.uk with the subject SUBSCRIBE ME RIGHT UP. Or register your attendance at the Facebook event. We've looked at the various scientific aspects of music in the past on Mr Science, just check out our music label.
