A group of people with small children all lean over the bar to try out the DJ-ing. One of the Working Boys is wearing a red and white cap with a grey hoodie and navy gilet. He is similing.

Serving Sounds is a mobile pub that creates connections through music – a bar that serves bass rather than beer. You’ll find all the things you’d usually find on a bar, like glasses, beer mats, the odd bit of change. But at Serving Sounds, when touched these items will create a groove, a sound, maybe even your favourite song.

About Working Boys Club

Working Boys Club was founded in 2020 by Jason & Adam Dupree. 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 Working Boys Club, blending their skills from the building site with those learnt in the rehearsal room. Working Boys Club aims to create connections through playful interactive projects which are underscored by complex social and economic issues.

‘The Working Boys Club have created a world of music and even magic that delighted audiences at our festival. They are a talented new company and one that all promoters should look out for.’
