The company has been founded to benefit live music/art audiences and performers with a strong emphasis on Bristol residents and the surrounding area. Our activities are primarily the programming of diverse live music in Bristol UK at a variety of venues. We also organise training courses, workshops, and have partnered with large arts organisation to platform musicians from marginalised backgrounds and address injustices within the music industry. By offering out community tickets and the lowest possible ticket prices we have managed to engage audiences from diverse backgrounds and reconnect people with the music of their homeland in Bristol. This year we continued our Ghana Music Special project, engaging some UK based Ghanaian musicians and supported them in returning to Ghana to collaborate, write and record music to be released in the UK. The goal is the formation of a cultural bridge between the UK & Ghana. We worked alongside 4 local venues to program a 1500 capacity festival featuring artists from almost every continent. Additionally, we started and finished our Elevate program in partnership with Bristol City Council, training 3 young women in the field of sound engineering and lighting engineering. This project was designed to trailblaze for phase 2 where we will onboard more students in 24-25.
Stakeholders include: - Musicians, with a focus on musicians of diverse heritage - Audience members, with a focus on Bristol and those of diverse heritage - Young people who want to work in the music industry - For our Ghana music special project, we included Ghanaian musicians from the start of the application. We met regularly with the stakeholders and built the project around their needs, being sure to be collaborative in every possible way. - Audience members with a focus on Bristol are often asked when they attend shows to give verbal feedback to team members. We are currently constructing an audience survey for 2025-2026. - Young people who want to work in the music industry: in 23/24 we applied for some funding to provide meaningful training opportunities to these people. We were awarded this in 24/25 and have now delivered the project, providing 2 young women with 8 sessions of on the job learning alongside a respected local sound engineer. This project has formed the basis of an application that we are currently submitting to expand the program in 25/26 with 8 more young people. We also trained a further female technician in the field of lighting engineering, who has since successfully gotten funding to expand her learning and has gone on to do several tours and is now leading the lighting team at a venue in Bristol.
Directors received an aggregate of £300 during the year.
