BASS, produced by Punch Records, is a festival of live music, workshops, panel discussions, exhibitions and film screenings. 

BASS Festival (British Arts and Street Sounds) is the UK’s only month long celebration of Black Music and Art. Every year, the UK comes alive with a phenomenal line up of events, new commissions, gigs, exhibitions, master classes, showcases, club nights, theatre, conferences and film.
