They also offer a range of spaces in support of local artists and companies for the research and development of artistic projects, including Hijinx Theatre. Like most art and entertainment venues, the last year has been one of the most difficult times for the organisation as they were forced to close their doors.

"The small remaining amount comes from Arts Council of Wales and is used to support our arts and education programme. Our capacity to earn income literally stopped overnight and that was profoundly scary.”

Since 2004 Plastic Crimewave (aka Steve Krakow) has used the Secret History of Chicago Music to shine a light on worthy artists with Chicago ties who've been forgotten, underrated, or never noticed in the first place.
The Secret History of Chicago Music has often had to contend with the question of geography. I've counted artists as "from Chicago" even when they've been based as far away as Champaign, Illinois, provided they have strong ties to our city.

In any case, I set my own rules here (and there are rules!), so I'm rewriting them to declare Lester "Big Daddy" Kinsey the greatest Chicago bluesman from Gary.
