Sound Affects #37: Anjali Prashar-Savoie, Bassie Gracie, and more TBC

About

Sound Affects is a night of talks about music and subcultures, ideas around how sound affects us and how music changes the world. Hearing from writers, musicians, artists, superfans, photographers, filmmakers and everyday music lovers, we dive into personal stories, esoteric bands, fan communities, punk, pop, social change and much more. It's organised and hosted by journalist and documentary filmmaker Jak Hutchcraft.

Guest speakers:
Anjali Prashar-Savoie- Writer, cultural producer, DJ and sometimes yoga teacher. They have worked in cultural democracy projects, including the first regional citizens assembly for culture and have a background in nightlife, reimagining how cultural work can serve broader movement-building. Anjali is the author ofClub Commons, a new book exploring queer nightlife published with Velocity Press in 2026.

Bassie Gracie- A punk performance poet and author known for her musical musings, feel-good feminism and general silliness. Her new book Soap on a Rope is an exploration of the British DIY music scene, through the eyes of Wilbur, a satirical banjo player. Join her on a journey through gigs, from the fields of Glastonbury to the carpeted floors of an old mans boozer. Maybe shes wasted her youth playing folk tunes or maybe success is just around the corner. The only thing she knows for sure is that beer tastes better when you dont have to pay for it.
