This tour is the third of a new touring network Soil and Concrete, with Sound UK working in partnership with three rural partners; Beaford Arts in North Devon, Carn to Cove in Cornwall and Pound Arts in Wiltshire plus one suburban partner, Studio 3 Arts working in Barking, to bring new music to rural and urban areas of low provision and engagement.
