boundary bending live music

flaunting the grit in glamour

BOLD MUD is a collaboration between Bold Mellon Collective and Mud Summons Records.

BOLD MUD is malleable - where there aren’t queer specific venues, we are creating safer queer spaces through these ephemeral pop-up events. So far, BOLD MUD has taken place at: The Social, Stanley Arts, Bush Theatre and VfDalston.

catapulting creativity onto the stage

We work with musicians through the manifestation of new ideas, nurturing creative risk-tasking. BOLD MUD has hosted first-time performances, established artists trying something totally new, and international artists premiering in the UK.
