Sun Pier Sounds
Welcome to Sun Pier Sounds – live music in Medway
Sun Pier Sounds brings live music to the heart of Medway, with regular gigs curated and managed by our own talented Lucy Forder. We champion local artists, create opportunities for emerging talent, and give audiences a place to discover fresh, original music in an intimate setting.
Our venue offers something a little different. It’s not quite a pub and more than a café. It’s a relaxed, creative space where music takes centre stage. We host free live music events in Medway, making it easy for everyone to enjoy great performances without the barrier of ticket prices.
Sun Pier Sounds supports the local music scene in Medway by connecting artists with new audiences and giving performers a platform to grow. At the same time, we offer audiences a chance to unwind, socialise and experience live music in a space that feels comfortable and community-led.
Whether you come on your own or with others, you’ll always find a friendly welcome.
Join us, discover new music, and be part of Medway’s growing live music community.
