PEOPLE & PLACES: Sounds of Sedgemoor Album Launch & Seed Celebration Event

Join us on 14 March, 1.30pm to 5pm at Bridgwater Arts Centre for a special afternoon celebrating six years of Seed and the launch of the Sounds of Sedgemoor album.

This event brings together the artists, participants and community members who have shaped the project over the years. The afternoon will feature live performances from Sounds of Sedgemoor bands, alongside a short film reflecting on the journey of the project and the stories behind the music.

As Seed approaches its final weeks, with the project coming to a close at the end of March, this is a chance to come together, share memories and celebrate everything that has been created. Whether you were directly involved or simply want to experience the music live, we would love you to be part of this milestone moment.

The Sounds of Sedgemoor story

Going back to the beginning of the Seed project we heard from several community members at consultation events like ‘Create The Future’ that they were looking for music groups to encourage learning or in some cases re-learning their instruments.

Many of the music groups that were formed around the early days were a result of coming out of covid lockdowns and the social isolation that people were feeling at the time.

Over the years several unique and individual groups were formed across the Sedgemoor area, getting together to practice, play small live gigs and begin writing new material.

The Sounds of Sedgemoor project was a chance for Seed to work with Action Track to give the groups an opportunity to professionally record their songs together, creating a collaborative work that reflects not only themselves as groups but the wider sedgemoor area.

Album launching on Digital streaming platforms CD & Vinyl

Sounds of Sedgemoor goes live on digital platforms on 14 March. Pick up a CD at the celebration event and be among the first to pre order the limited vinyl edition on the day.
