Serving Sounds – a touring production
Working Boys Club
Activate

The Serving Sounds installation is a multi-sensory music-making pop-up bar that creates connection through music – a bar that serves bass rather than beer.
The installation is an interactive work, playful and joyful, with each ‘customer’ experience at the bar lasting around the length of a typical pop song.
As well as pure musical joy, the Serving Sound Bar can also be placed in settings that encourage conversations around wellbeing, in particular male mental health, giving working-class men a voice in pub-style settings with a difference.
”There’s nothing like your local, there’s nothing like it. There’s nothing like a pint at your local. There’s nothing like hanging out in the beer garden at your local. There’s nothing like it. There’s nothing like the footie, a fag and a pint at your local….The “I’m just going to have one”, the “just one more”. The ‘DING DING’ “LAST ORDERS?” See you next week I’m sure. There’s nothing like your local. There’s nothing like it.”
Commissioned and produced by Activate Performing Arts, producers of Inside Out Dorset. Serving Sounds is funded by Activate Performing Arts thanks to the support of Arts Council England South West. In 2023, Serving Sounds is supported by Without Walls
