Leisure Link Podcast

Our latest Podcast, captures a live recording from Brockwell Park over the summer, where Club Soda musicians and Gig Buddies took part in panel discussions at two music festivals, where we launched the 'Partying in Plain Sight' campaign, aimed at increasing awareness of what it's like to attend mainstream music festivals and live events as a person with learning disabilities or autism.

The Podcast also includes live music performances from members of The Carbonators and Soda Jam who led inclusive jams at both festivals across 27/28 May 2023.
