Culture as a Dare

Culture as a Dare started as a group of friends driven to bring interesting, experimental and alternative music to our home town of Southend-on-Sea. Beginning in 2008, we created shows for international touring acts, supported by local musicians, in order to create networking opportunities for all involved and a common, welcoming, cultural space in Southend-on-Sea. 

We are not currently booking any live shows.

Some acts we have worked with: Silver Apples (US), Forest Fire (US), Manu Louis (BE), Rita Braga (PT), Lafidki (FR/KH), Liberez (UK), Bamboo (UK), Urthona (UK), Waterflower (LV), Carla Bozulich (US), Giwan Suilaman (SY), Grim Grim (UK/JP), UMEZ (JP),  Arma Agharta (LT), Katie O'Neill (IE), David Colohan (IE), Toxic Chicken (TH), Estuary Improvisers Ensemble (UK), Elizabete Balcus (LV), Kommissar Hjuler und Mama Baer (DE), Ninni Morgia and Silvia Kastel (IT), SIC Alps (US).
