Speak Up & Dance runs entirely on goodwill, generosity and a shared belief that music and community can genuinely save lives. The organisations, companies and individuals listed here make our goals possible.
Incapable Staircase started during lockdown, when people needed connection more than anything and we figured radio was a pretty good way to do it. We're a non-profit community station, broadcasting 24/7 with DJs spread across the UK who genuinely love music and the people they share it with.
They broadcast around the clock, platform emerging and established DJs, and take the station out into the world — events across the South West and festivals too. At festivals they bring the whole thing with us. Tent, sofas, rugs, vinyl, live radio, artist interviews.
Tune in from home or come find them on site.
Incapable Staircase host our radio shows, give our voices a platform through speaking events and panels, and open their airwaves up for takeovers.
