''I have so much admiration and respect for the work that Hannah, Keiron and the whole team have put in to create The Sound Lounge. And, I am proud and honoured to support them as patron''

“Grassroots venues were absolutely essential to my eventual success when I was coming up as an artist. 

I’m therefore very happy to become a patron of The Sound Lounge and a champion of what they are doing for new music as well as the local community”

"Thanks to the rise of social media, there's never been a better time for innovative new music artists to find a worldwide audience. Yet - at the local level - live venues where they can perform are either closing or under pressure all over the country. This is especially true in London, thanks to the insane profits available to property developers. So news of a new grassroots music venue is especially welcome, and it's an honour to be invited by The Sound Lounge to become a patron. Long may they flourish, and may many others follow their forward-thinking example.”

"It's great news that there is a new grassroots venue for Country and Americana music in London. It makes perfect sense as there are so many quality UK musicians making Roots music. The fact that it's crowdfunded is even more heartening and proves there is not only a real desire and need for more venues but that the people who love and make this music are also an active and engaged community. I'm looking forward to many exciting nights at The Sound Lounge!”

"I'm very proud to be a patron of The Sound Lounge. Venues where unsigned acts can learn their craft and hone their skills are becoming ever more rare. These venues were essential to me as I made my way to being a signed artist. It gives me great pleasure to support Hannah and Keiron and everyone at The Sound Lounge in all their future endeavours."

“In my career, I’ve always loved finding, meeting and working with great new musical artists. Grassroots venues like the Sound Lounge are where those new artists are playing and listening. It is so important for the future of music to support ventures like the Sound Lounge so that there is a place for musicians to feel at home and be able to learn their craft with other like minded people and I am honoured to be a Patron and to support Hannah and Keiron in this brilliant venture.”Trustee
