Archival Sounds Launches

by jamell last modified 22/09/2025 02:40 PM

Listening Sessions

Firmly Rooted Soundsystem

Trinity is proud to launch Archival Sounds - where sound speaks truth, a new series where music meets meaning. With its first series running from September to December 2025, the events invite guest artists to explore social and political themes through the power of vinyl, storytelling, and conversation.

The series opens on Saturday 18 Oct, one of Bristol’s most vital contemporary bands, SCALER celebrate the release of their new album Endlessly with a special ‘In Conversation’ event. This will include an album playback on the Firmly Rooted Soundsystem, a track-by-track discussion, and a Q&A hosted by Alastair Shuttleworth (BBC, Guardian, Pitchfork) all based around the importance of community and collaboration.

Join us in Fyfe Hall, reimagined as a sonic lounge with warm lighting, seating, and space for dialogue. Together we’ll listen, reflect, and connect.

"Archival Sounds is about reframing how we experience music, not just as entertainment, but as cultural memory. Each vinyl carries stories of struggle, resilience, and connection. We wanted to create a space where audiences can slow down, really listen, and discover the politics embedded in sound." - Jamell Ackford, Director of Culture, Trinity

Keep an eye out for the full series dropping soon...

Dates: Oct 18 | Nov 8 | Dec 13
