Janet Roddick, David Donaldson, and Steve Roche have been working collectively for 33 years.
They first started playing music together as part of The Six Volts, and have continued working together in numerous bands, theatre productions and dance shows, and for the two decades as screen composers, under the name Plan 9.
In this P-LAB session, the three members of Plan 9 will talk around the trials, tribulations and triumphs of long-term collaborative work and maintaining a collective spirit.
