The Diplomats of Sound are a collective of emerging artists, DJ’s, promoters and social entrepreneurs that have been brought together through the activities of the critically acclaimed and award winning venue Chai Wallahs.
As the largest independent venue on the UK festival circuit, Chai Wallahs has programmed over 750 performances and reached audiences of over 400,000 people in the last 3 years. Following the introduction of their live stage in 2007 Chai Wallahs have established a glowing reputation for showcasing the finest emerging artists, running a highly professional stage production and for creating legendary party vibes and a truly mind opening and joyful experience for audiences across the UK.
In 2010 with the support of the legendary soul singer Joss Stone, Chai Wallahs launched the ‘Diplomats of Sound’, a social enterprise project set up to support emerging independent artists and develop further professional performance platforms outside of the festival circuit.
Driven by a passion for music and a desire to create an alternative to what is largely a soulless and formulaic music industry, the ‘Diplomats of Sound’ seek to push the boundaries of new music, whilst creating a community brand that can be completely trusted for providing music with passion, creativity and integrity.
