The project was initiated around solo acoustic trumpet recordings and performances by Chris, from which included uploading a recording to the subscription each month for a year, and which will culminate in a CD release of the whole set of recordings, alongside the whole album being available publicly on Bandcamp. the subscription project also included photography by John Boursnell and others. #BEACHfest will explore the pieces from the project - short intervallic pieces each named after a Norfolk beach - in different groupings, including a duo with Chris and trombonist Kieran McLeod, a trio with two Manchester-based musicians Anton Hunter and Johnny Hunter, a short solo set, and a duo between trombonist Annie Whitehead and trumpeter Charlotte Keeffe.
