Serving Sounds
A multi-sensory sound installation that creates connection through music
The Serving Sounds installation is a multi-sensory music-making pop-up bar that creates connection through music – a bar that serves bass rather than beer.
The installation is an interactive work, playful and joyful, with each ‘customer’ experience at the bar lasting around the length of a typical pop song.
As well as pure musical joy, the Serving Sound Bar can also be placed in settings that encourage conversations around wellbeing, in particular male mental health, giving working-class men a voice in pub-style settings with a difference.
Commissioned and produced by Activate Performing Arts, producers of Inside Out Dorset. Serving Sounds is funded by Activate Performing Arts thanks to the support of Arts Council England South West. In 2023, Serving Sounds is supported by Without Walls

There’s nothing like your local, there’s nothing like it. There’s nothing like a pint at your local. There’s nothing like hanging out in the beer garden at your local. There’s nothing like it. There’s nothing like the footie, a fag and a pint at your local. There’s nothing like curry night Wednesdays, a beer of my choice and a tikka masala for 6 quid! Friday, the 2 for 1 cocktails. There’s nothing like the sound of the fruities and the hustle at the pool tables. The regular’s discount, the stains, the smells, the lads, the ladies, the loos, dance moves, the banter, the booze, the bar knowing your order, the spilt drinks, the sticky shoes. The “I’m just going to have one”, the “just one more”. The ‘DING DING’ “LAST ORDERS?” See you next week I’m sure. There’s nothing like your local. There’s nothing like it.
