Band of Nod

The Band of Nod was formed in 1999 in East London. Based on an eccentric local tradition, membership of the band is open to anyone and its activities are built on five fundamental foundations.

streets and be visible to the general public.

The Proclamation. The band will design and produce material with
which to advertise their presence and activities.

The Practice. The band will meet in order to socialise and rehearse
various musical and performance based activities.

The Pantominesque. The band will make and decorate its own costumes,
masks, banners and instruments.

The Performance. The band will perform in public through either
invitation or intervention.
