Ensemble Festival: Serving Sounds (by Working Boys Club)

Serving Sounds is a multi-sensory sound installation that creates connection through music – a bar that serves bass rather than beer.

The installation is an interactive work, playful and joyful with spaces for up to four people of all ages to interact with the bar at any one time, each experience lasting up to the length of a song.

As you arrive, you’ll find the ordinary items you’d usually expect to find, like glasses, beermats, the odd bit of change. But at this bar, these items when touched will create a groove, a sound, strings, a snare, maybe a guitar, or synths if you like.

The Working Boys Club was founded in 2020 by Jason & Adam Dupree, identical twins from Poole. Both started in the trades: Adam as car mechanic and Jason as an electrician. Noticing the lack of art made by and for the working class, they formed The Working Boys Club, blending their skills from the building site with those learnt in the rehearsal room.

Ensemble Festival 2023 is part of At the Docks 2023 – a brand-new summer season of arts, culture, and events at the Royal Docks.
