Sound UK

Venue touring and festivals have always been a key part of Sound UK’s programme.

Here we take a look back at a selection of the tours and diverse array of brilliant artists we have had the pleasure to work with over the last 25 years.

Polly Eldridge, Sound UK’s Director, says: “It was during my first job 30 years ago, working for Cheltenham Jazz Festival, that the love of bringing artist and audiences together struck. Since then, we’ve brought together 100s of artists and 1000s of people in clubs, village halls, and major concert halls. We’ve commissioned and created new collaborations and work from the ground-breaking east London Fertilizer Festival to P*e Wee Ellis’s Funk tour.”

Outdoor and site specific music, sound and light projects have been an important part of Sound UK’s artistic programme over the last 25 years.�

Polly Eldridge, Sound UK's Director says:
“It started with Canal music. I’d been on a tour bus, trekking up and down motorways and thought, surely there’s a better way to travel and present music. And of course there is, the slow ways of the canal, stopping off to perform to communities along the way. Working outside of standard music spaces, out in nature and the weather is liberating. You are surrounded by life past, present and future, and there’s a sense of teamwork unlike any other project.”�
