Clap for Carers in north-east London
Apr 11, 2020, 09:13 AM
London lockdown sound recorded by Andy Popperwell.
"At 2000BST on Thursday 2nd April 2020, people all over the UK joined in with clapping and cheering to thank those working in the UK National Health Service and also those in the other emergency services, carers, supermarket workers and many others.
"This event began on Thursday 26th March 2020 and looks set to be a weekly event. This soundwalk in Mulberry Way, London E18 was made using a stereo pair of Rode M5 microphones on a 2-metre boom connected to a Zoom H6 digital recorder.
"To observe the two-metre separation requirement, people stood on their doorsteps, at windows or on balconies."
