Test Dept emerged in the 1980s as one of the most influential early industrial music acts. Marking 30 years since the 1984–5 miners’ strike, they present DS30, a political collage of sound and image featuring footage from mining communities and Test Dept’s own archive. This is followed by a Q&A with group members. Curated by AV Festival and presented by the Bluecoat in partnership with Liverpool Radical Film Festival. www.testdeptds30.co.uk
