Sounds of Salisbury

Sounds of Salisbury We are an award winning initiative promoting local music from Salisbury and the surrounding area,and introducing music from further afield.

Radio Odstock / Podcast / Socials / Events / Salisbury Live / Andover Rocks. Alex founded the Sounds Of Salisbury Podcast in January 2019 because of his desire to highlight the musical talent in and around our local area. With his experience as a Salisbury singer/songwriter, he wanted to give other local artists a platform to reach a wider audience and the opportunities to teach or learn from our rich pool of musical talent. This evolved in March 2021 when he invited his wife Ellen to promote the other areas of our community which make up the vibrant tapestry of Salisbury. Branching off to hear from local charities, businesses, events that are happening has made the podcast a more well rounded, informative listening experience. Following a 2 year break from Podcasting we are returning in January 2024 with excitement,
fresh ideas and new equipment to bring to the table. This included changing from audio podcasts to visual, which was a goal from the start. By mid 2024, we decided to reduce the community aspect of the podcast and focus specifically on highlighting the Salisbury music scene and also introducing acts from all over the country to the music loving audiences of Salisbury. In September 2024, we were delighted to start our weekly radio show on Radio Odstock, playing music, past and present, from acts in Salisbury and the surrounding area. We are loving the detective aspect of searching for old music, old bands and artists, and connecting the dots. It truly is a joy to be able to build a local music archive that can eventually be added to the Radio Odstock servers and become part of the normal programming for many years to come.

Right then you lovely people.
Who has new music coming out that they would like to have played on the show?
We are back next week and would love to showcase some new tunes.

15/09/2026

When you spend time doing a deep dive online for some of the local bands you want to find music for and MySpace produces a mother load of potential, only to let you down because they lost about 80% of the music loaded to there platform in a botched server transfer back in 2018.

We’ll keep digging.

Tune in on 23rd to hear some new stuff we have unearthed though.

📣CAN YOU SPARE AN HOUR TO HELP US GET MEN MATTERS OUT THERE?👣

We need a small army of willing volunteers to help us spread the word about Men Matters 2026 across Salisbury!

On Monday 14 September, we’re inviting volunteers to meet us at:

📍 The Salisbury Pantry, 59 Catherine Street, Salisbury
⏰ Any time between 1pm and 3pm

The mission is simple: grab a bundle of posters, some Blu Tack or drawing pins, and head out around Salisbury to ask shops, cafés, bars, surgeries, community venues and other local businesses if they will put one up.

You don't need any special skills - just be happy to walk around Salisbury, pop into places and say:

“Hello! Would you be willing to put up a poster for a local men's wellbeing event?”😊

You can do as much or as little as you like. An hour would be fantastic, but if you can give us longer, even better!

Free tea or coffee for everyone who comes along to help!

Men Matters is all about helping men discover the activities, support, friendship and opportunities available to them locally and getting the posters up around the city is a really important part of making sure men hear about it.

So, if you can spare an hour on Monday afternoon, come along to 59 Catherine Street between 1pm and 3pm.

Bring your walking shoes, your best “can we put a poster up?” smile and we'll provide the rest! 💪

Please share this post - the more volunteers we have, the more of Salisbury we can reach.

We've got some new music already to play, with some old classics in the mix too.
