Sound Affects #30: Rebecca Lin, Nathan Tuft & Douglas Anderson

Tickets: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/sound-affects

Sound Affects is a night of talks about music and subcultures, 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.

Speakers:
Nathan Tuft - A youth engagement professional who has spent over 15 years in the sector. Currently at the Roundhouse in London as Senior Youth Work Manager, he works to embed youth work practice within artistic settings—ensuring that creative expression is met with the emotional support young people need to process, reflect, and grow. He believes in the power of youth spaces as platforms for belonging and the arts as a language for connection.

Rebecca Lin - A British-Taiwanese cultural researcher, youth advocate, and storyteller from Leicester, whose work explores identity, education, and sovereignty across the globe. Drawing on her journey from organising grassroots gigs in the UK to curating exhibitions amplifying mixed-heritage and indigenous voices in Taiwan, she highlights how localised music movements and subcultures have shaped her own sense of belonging, revealing music as a universal vehicle for youth expression, democratic participation, and decolonial resistance.

Douglas Anderson - Writer, broadcaster and filmmaker who has presented for BBC, Channel 4 and BAFTA. His short films such as Looking Up and The London Nobody Knows Now have been screened at the BFI and internationally. His new book, The Great, the Good and the Misunderstood, presents the case for the musicians, comedians, writers, social reformers and others he believes are worthy of wider respect.

Doors at 7.30pm, it begins at 8 and is over by 10.30pm.
