The Sound Agents are looking forward to recording Journalist, Declan McSweeney's story of growing up in Tullamore, Ireland and moving to Liverpool.

"The Irish in Liverpool, everyone has a different story but people back in Ireland don't know much about the Irish over here, people assume people left the country for lack of work, that is far from being the whole story"
 

The Sound Agents promote public understanding and access to communities by recording the personal and everyday experience of Liverpool life.

The purpose of the organisation is to work inclusively with people from under-represented communities to provide opportunities to share stories using the Arts as a tool for communication.

Working outside the structure to bring together older people to pass their skills on to the younger generation by working creatively to share talents, experience and enthusiasm to bring people together to improve health and well-being and create opportunities for young people to get involved in Socially Engaged practice.
