humberMUD returns to business

Wednesday 25th May 2011 at Fruit, Humber Street, Hull

Digital and creative industries networking and knowledge-sharing group humberMUD returns to Fruit this month (Wednesday, May 25). The first MUD since February is built around the theme Hull – Creative City!

A diverse line-up is expected to attract a big crowd to the increasingly popular monthly meetings.

Speakers and performers include Guy On A Rock Recordings' Matt Guy and Emily Tura, local music video maker and creative Sam Lancaster, young creative industry practitioners Ryan Kitching – who produces music graphics for local events and bands and games designer Shay Hulbert - who is working on murals for Welly Club, live art group The Doomed Patrol and the creator of new augmented reality application Heritage Online/Connect Create Phil Shakesby.

Those that work in the digital and creative industries are also invited to share their news and work (DVD playback and projection, internet and large screen are available) on the night. The night is also a #hullmeetup – a gathering of Hull and East Riding tweeters.

May's MUD also includes a discussion on the way forward for humberMUD, finding out what people want from the group, while the evening will also provide a lot of opportunities for networking, socialising and drinking at Fruit's licensed bar.
