Swinton Sounds
The Spirit of Sounds transported up the road to the town of Swinton.
“After hearing distant music and wandering over to the park, we found a joyous celebration of all things local”
– Leah, local resident“More activities
like this to bring life
back into Swinton”
– Dida, via Facebook
A pop up weekender of events created with the community of Swinton, that brought live music and performance to the precinct, park and pub!
Swinton Sounds had its second year in June 2024, building on the ideas and local relationships built in 2023. This year saw an evening in the Grand Palais ballroom with The Untold Orchestra, pop-ups across Swinton’s favourite spaces filled with activities and musical artistry, and the seminal Sunday in Victoria Park, bringing the bandstand back to life for an afternoon soundtracked by artists from Salford and beyond.
We had a lot of fun developing this yet again and meeting some of the wonderful characters that make culture in Swinton tick.
