The event heralded a revival of the creative partnership between Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond, under the name with which they first recorded and released music together in 1987.
During the event, the JAMs launched their new work, a novel called 2023: A Trilogy, and revealed fresh plans to build a "People's Pyramid".
The event also marked 23 years since Drummond and Cauty controversially burnt one million pounds sterling and an end to their self-imposed moratorium on discussing it.
[6][7] Flush with cash from their pop career, the duo formed the K Foundation, a creative outlet for their art projects and media campaigns.
[10][11][12] They later issued a statement that on 5 November 1995 they had signed a "contract" at Cape Wrath in northern Scotland agreeing to wind up the K Foundation and not to speak about the money burning for a period of 23 years.
[30] At 23 seconds past midnight on 23 August 2017, 23 years after they burnt a million pounds,[31][14] Drummond and Cauty arrived at the "News From Nowhere" bookshop in Liverpool in their decrepit ice cream van, its chimes playing a mashup of "What Time Is Love?
"[32][34] During "Welcome To The Dark Ages", Cauty and Drummond announced the creation of an undertakers' business, "Callender, Callender, Cauty and Drummond, Undertakers to the Underworld" - a collaboration between K2 Plant Hire and the Green Funeral Company[36] - and new plans for a People's Pyramid,[33] the earlier plan having never come to fruition.
[37] Cauty and Drummond are working on the project, and set up a process and a website[39][40] - MuMufication - where people can sign up to be interred in the Pyramid for £99.
