Who we're working with

Partnerships are being formed now. Each one shows its real status, and we update it as agreements are signed.

In discussion

Sourcing and vetting KSL interpreters, and setting professional standards for live-music interpreting.

In discussion

Recruiting and supporting the disabled reviewers who audit each venue, and the artists who perform.

In discussion

Venues that already host regular live nights, ready to host interpreters and act on the audit. Plus one reserve.

Lead the audits, test the braille menus, shape the guide and perform on stage.

Interpret each night, and advise venues on lighting and sightlines.

Host the nights, make the agreed fixes and train their staff.

Builds the booking tool, the guide and the braille menus, and runs project management and documentation.

We're talking to Nairobi venues, disabled artists, KSL interpreters and disability-led groups.

If you run a live-music night, perform, interpret or advocate, we'd like to hear from you.
