SOUNDS QUEER
Straddling the void between Live Music and Queer Nightlife, Sounds Queer was founded in early 2022 to champion diverse voices and sounds from the LGBTQIA+ community, whilst providing a safe space for audiences within it. Despite London being a cultural hub for both music and the queer community, there are little to no live music organisations whose priority is to provide a platform for queer live artists. In addition, there is a lack of truly inclusive events, gigs or venues for emerging music that cater to the community's specific needs. Sounds Queer works with organisations and businesses to support and champion queer artists and their stories, through live events, programming, takeovers and panel discussions. In turn, their work has been supported by the likes of The Royal Albert Hall, The Roundhouse and Mighty Hoopla.
