“I had no expectations of coming as a friend told me to, but the experience was great and the vibe and environment were great, as well as the drinks. I am Chilean and I was lucky to get into the Latin vibes one, and it was great.” -- “Such an outstanding event by and for the community!”

“Really fantastic even and loved that it was free to access! Makes music and community more accessible in the cost of living crisis” -- “Thank you so much for making this space! My partner is a trans musician composer navigating burnout, fatigue and autism, and it makes such a different to their mental health, they look forward to this so much” -- “We need more of these spaces! Thank you.” -- “Sound Sorcery is incredible. What a joy and a privilege it is to have these gigs and jam sessions running, and that they're free! How incredible. I would still try to attend if there was an entrance fee, but as someone on the disability pension, I would not be able to attend as often. I am so grateful that Sound Sorcery exists and is accessible for those of us with difficult circumstances.”

“Keep funding this. We love it!” -- “A fantastic event loved the vibe - host was fantastic” -- “Such a welcoming environment and a safe space. It is very important to have these spaces for the Queer community, especially in a male-dominated music scene that often excludes us. I have always been intimated by jamming/ improvising, but now with this space I might start trying.” -- “This is changing the music scene in Sydney for the better. I was chatting with a fellow musician on the night and we were both commenting that we wish we had had this night when we were first starting out in the jazz scene, as it totally would have changed our attitudes towards jamming, performing and networking. I love this night and I am so grateful for the opportunities it provides for musicians all over Sydney with diverse backgrounds.”

“I've been a gigging musician in the Inner West for a few years, attending open mics/ jams weekly, and have never felt more safe and welcome at Sound Sorcery. I was looking for a women-run space and feel so lucky to have this place especially as a Queer woman as well!” -- “I love the queer community that comes out during these nights, I really enjoy the output that this event brings”

“Sound Sorcery is a fantastic initiative which should happen every year.” -- “Magical”

“Love being in a sexy venue with excellent music with other queer and trans folk. Excellent !!!” -- “Wonderful night”

“Amazing poetry. Organisers created such an amazing space” -- “Incredible opportunity for artists from all walks of life and all experience levels, I hope this can continue.” -- “I found out about this event on whim through the city of Sydney website of things to do on Thursday night late and I’m so happy to have found this event! I’ve already reserved tickets for the next one and I really hope they continue as I will share it with my friends. Very well or the band is incredible. I feel like the feeling that you get stuck on when you see people with all this all I wanna do is jam in this welcoming and safe space.” -- “Refreshing, beautiful community atmosphere, love that folks feel safe to share their experiences via spoken word.”
