Boom Projects
Flow State Music worked as a sound technician and head of tech for Boom Projects at their debut event held in Leith Theatre, July 2017. The event space was previously used in May 2017, for the first time in nearly three decades, by Hidden Door Festival.
The event with Boom Projects was the first in their series of social projects with 131 Northside, Zesh and Chriis Wood making appearances along with Dominique Haig, Christie Brown, Ellen Renton, Mini Jackers, Edinburgh Parkour, Studio Ember and graffiti artist Azad Adam. The programme included live music, spoken word, dance and parkour making full use of the 1,200 capacity venue.
Kelburn Arts Ltd
In 2018 we will be running a live music stage under Thorugh The Wire Music and managing special events at the festival.
In 2016 and & 2017 Flow State Music acted as the programmer and manager of the ‘Acoustic Special Events’ schedule for Kelburn Arts Ltd, who run the Kelburn Garden Party on the west coast of Scotland.
Managing a small team and the day-time programming of numerous stages and pop-up events spaces, we delivered over 30 hours of music for the event.

Edinburgh University Student’s Association
A regular live music event for Edinburgh University Student’s Association. These events were part of their weekly programming scheduled for the students of Edinburgh University. From October ’14 – October ’17 we acted as programmer and promoter for the weekly show at their venue, Teviot Underground. Aimed at the students of Edinburgh and local music fans, the shows promote Scottish musicians.
Greater Grassmarket BID
The Grassmarket Unplugged series is a project started in March 2016. After working with the Greater Grassmarket BID, as part of their outdoor events programme, the project has grown to work with numerous brands, including Oxjam, Red Dog Music and the Academy of Music & Sound.
Over the last two years, 150 acts have played the stage to showcase their talents and also raise money for charity. From May – September 2017 14 events took place including two with Oxjam, one with the Academy of Music & Sound and Red Dog Music.
“We worked with Flowstate on a series of pop-up outdoor gigs with Oxjam Edinburgh Takeover and Greater Grassmarket. They were flexible, timely, and committed, and all with an amicableness that makes them fun to work with too.” – Oxjam

“Volunteering for Through The Wire Music has provided me with invaluable experience in music journalism. As I haven’t studied music as further education, I have had difficulty in being able to pursue a career in the music industry, however, through volunteering I have been able to network and gain contacts within this industry which in turn has furthered my career and opened up many options for me in this field.”
Many of the volunteers have successfully gained employment in the music industry as a result of being involved with the project.
“Through The Wire has allowed me to reach a much broader readership and at the same time bring so much exciting music to that same readership. This has ranged from local events and bands to more established artists and across a range of venues. I’ve accumulated a portfolio of live reviews that has helped build my credibility as a genuine reviewer and literally opened doors. And so it continues…”
Flow State continues to project manage Through The Wire Music and is expanding on their monthly live shows taking place throughout the UK and Europe.
