As one half of electronic duo Lemon Jelly, Fred Deakin toured the world, headlined Glastonbury, T in the Park and more, was Mercury Prize and Brit nominated, and sold over half a million albums. Alongside all that, Fred is a huge name in the design world too. He designed all the artwork for Lemon Jelly, and co-founded design agency Airside in London for more than a decade. He later went on to become Professor of Digital Art at University of the Arts London. He&rsquo;s a design and music powerhouse, and we&rsquo;re beyond buzzing that he&rsquo;ll be chatting to us in The Tunnels.&nbsp; Fred&rsquo;s talk will focus on the messy middle part of a creative career when you&rsquo;re maybe finished uni, or been working for a while and not sure where your next milestone is, and you&rsquo;re navigating that awkward in-between bit. After his talk (and a brief break!), Fred will be doing a DJ set in the next door tunnel alongside some visuals created by local creatives in another Rotate Fest event the previous week. This is a separate event so requires a separate ticket, which you can purchase <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/fred-deakin-dj-set-rotate-fest" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">here</a>.

About KinWe want more Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire creatives to see a future here in the region, so we&rsquo;re focussed on connecting emerging creatives with established professionals to show them it&rsquo;s possible. More connections, more support, more roots planted here early to give our emerging creatives the option to stay.&nbsp; We do this through our Next of Kin mentorship programme, putting on creative events to bring people together, informal creative networking opportunities, our skills swap shop that encourages collaboration and support, and live projects to gain real experience. We&rsquo;re only just starting, and we&rsquo;ve got big big plans for the future. The support from the local creative community has been so touching. The demand is there, just gotta make it happen. So let&rsquo;s gooooo! Charity no. SC054965.&nbsp;
