About Reuben Sounds
Purpose: Founded in 1991 by Jerry Crawford, who has been very influential on Bradford’s music scene. He is probably Bradford’s longest serving event organiser. From working at Livestock Records to Organising Bradford’s first acid house all nighter along with Bradford’s first jungle/drum n bass and UK garage events.  The studio was a non-profit venture designed to provide valuable recording studio access to disadvantaged local musicians. Mission: It aimed to serve marginalized groups, such as low-paid and unemployed young people, mainly for members of the Black and Asian communities, offering them a chance to record music and learn about studio techniques. Significance: The studio was created to fill a gap in local facilities, providing an essential resource for aspiring musicians who lacked access to professional equipment and training.
