If you were at our event in March and have been following our talks closely, you may have noticed that we missed one of them, specifically Paul Cheese’s talk about his journey combining the sounds of the UK into one incredible song.
There’s a good reason for this – his talk was on hold with the folks at TED, as it was considered an editor’s choice! This means that his idea was chosen as one they wanted to share with the world further, and was published to TEDx’s subscribers on YouTube (something that only happens once per day!).
We’re so proud of Paul and his talk, and you can see how he made 4000 sounds into a soundtrack of the UK right now! Thank you to our 2025 event sponsor Cripps and 2025 event partners Tunbridge Wells Business Magazine and Southpaw for making talks like these possible. We’re excited to be expanding our sponsor and partner lineup – read on to find out more about our newest partner…
