Connor McGregor-Paterson: Early Career Promoter Fund
Concise Description: Enriching the local music scene by putting on multiple gigs and promoting bands that bridge the gap between Reading, London, Brighton and beyond.
Biog: Skeeta Sounds is a Reading based promoter looking to champion new and exciting music from around the country and bridge the gap between the local music scene and that of the bigger cities. Taking inspiration from venues at the forefront of the new music scene in London such as The Shacklewell Arms, George Tavern, The Victoria and The Windmill that provide a platform for often lesser known artists to express their talent and art to an audience almost every day. Skeeta Sounds will look to engage with some of these artists and give them a chance to play in Reading, something that is both mutually beneficial for local audiences that will get to experience some brilliant fresh and original live music, and also the artists getting to play somewhere that is often overlooked when it comes to booking gigs.
