Sounds of Salisbury

Sounds of Salisbury We are an award winning initiative promoting local music from Salisbury and the surrounding area,and introducing music from further afield.

Radio Odstock / Podcast / Socials / Events / Salisbury Live / Andover Rocks. Alex founded the Sounds Of Salisbury Podcast in January 2019 because of his desire to highlight the musical talent in and around our local area. With his experience as a Salisbury singer/songwriter, he wanted to give other local artists a platform to reach a wider audience and the opportunities to teach or learn from our

rich pool of musical talent. This evolved in March 2021 when he invited his wife Ellen to promote the other areas of our community which make up the vibrant tapestry of Salisbury. Branching off to hear from local charities, businesses, events that are happening has made the podcast a more well rounded, informative listening experience. Following a 2 year break from Podcasting we are returning in January 2024 with excitement,
fresh ideas and new equipment to bring to the table. This included changing from audio podcasts to visual, which was a goal from the start. By mid 2024, we decided to reduce the community aspect of the podcast and focus specifically on highlighting the Salisbury music scene and also introducing acts from all over the country to the music loving audiences of Salisbury. In September 2024, we were delighted to start our weekly radio show on Radio Odstock, playing music, past and present, from acts in Salisbury and the surrounding area. We are loving the detective aspect of searching for old music, old bands and artists, and connecting the dots. It truly is a joy to be able to build a local music archive that can eventually be added to the Radio Odstock servers and become part of the normal programming for many years to come.

Ok, so this is a big one, but honestly, if you are looking at taking your band to the next level then playing in New York is pretty much up there.

The The New Colossus Festival is a superb event right in the heart of East Side Manhattan. We adored being there in March, visiting so many different music venues and seeing bands from all over the World perform to very appreciative and receptive crowds.

So many acts from the UK made there way out there this year.

Maybe it’s your turn.

Applications are now open for the 8th Edition of the New Colossus Festival March 9-14, 2027

When Ellen sleepily books to watch a couples quiz show, only to discover she’s booked us to TAKE PART in a PERFECT PARTNERS entertainment segment whilst on holiday, but we still come away with the spoils because apparently we know each other rather well!

One of our absolute favourite events to be involved in! 💕🎶

It’s such an honour to be able to help support BreastFest, and a real joy to see our amazing local community get behind it year after year.

A huge thank you to everyone who makes this event so special — we’re incredibly proud to be a small part of it.

Here’s to another fantastic year of raising money, having fun and supporting such an important cause.

Roll on 2027! 💗🎶

Wow — and a huge thank you to everyone who helped, performed, attended and supported our 3rd BreastFest live music event! 💕

We had the humbling experience of presenting the cheque to the incredible breast cancer nurses, and chatting with the wonderful Stars Appeal fundraising manager about all the amazing ways your donations help patients at our hospital.

Sue Mundy is a true inspiration, and it’s because of her journey that BreastFest began in 2024. It’s an absolute pleasure to be able to give something back following the care Sue received in the unit — a unit that was built by the Stars Appeal 9 years ago.

And next year is a very special one… it’s the 10th anniversary of the breast cancer unit! 🎉

So, we’re already planning a bigger and better BreastFest to celebrate this incredible milestone and, most importantly, raise even more money to support the unit and its patients. 💗

We can’t wait to share more details as plans come together, but for now…

SAVE THE DATE — 14 AUGUST 2027

Get involved, spread the word and come and make it our biggest BreastFest yet! 🎶💗

Thank you again to every single person who has helped make this event what it is. We couldn’t do it without you. ❤️

Featuring some old acts to come out of Bass Connection, to some newer acts with deep affiliations to Bass Connection, as well as some voice notes from some of the people that Bass Connection helped to mould into the musicians, and more importantly, people they are now.

Tune in from 8pm Wednesday via www.radioodstock.org.uk

Tickets for Saturday can be purchased via https://www.wiltshirecreative.co.uk/events/bass-connection
