What started as a small reggae group has grown into something much bigger- a vibrant movement that brings people together through sound, celebration, and community spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Breaking Barriers with Basslines: The Yorkshireman making music accessible for all\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZToxH8JwtJ0?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Ten 2 One Sound launched in February of last year, initially as a modest collective of reggae enthusiasts passionate about sharing their love for the genre. What sets Ten 2 One apart is their commitment to hosting<strong> free events<\/strong> reggae community events, that are open to all music lovers, regardless of background or means. Sonny\u2019s vision is simple: remove barriers and create spaces where people can connect, dance, and enjoy music without worrying about cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Sonny explains how he organizes these sessions: \u201cI put on free sessions and these are basically anywhere that will let me put a sound system in. It might be a community hall, a local park, or even someone\u2019s garage \u2014 I\u2019m always on the lookout for welcoming spaces.\u201d This DIY spirit is central to Ten 2 One\u2019s ethos, demonstrating that with passion and creativity, music can thrive anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">His last event was a perfect example of this grassroots approach. Sonny shares, \u201cMy old drumming teacher Dan basically said, \u2018I\u2019ve got a space, do you want to use it?\u2019 and I said, \u2018That would be absolutely incredible. Yes.\u2019 Within a few days the plans were made and the posters were up. It was a DIY project through and through, but it brought people together in a way that felt powerful and authentic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>See how art is bringing people closer together <a href=\"https:\/\/theoptimistmagazine.co.uk\/2025\/05\/23\/repainting-the-narrative-how-art-therapy-is-changing-the-way-people-heal\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">At that session, powered by the renowned Steel Rockers Sound System, Ten 2 One featured an impressive line-up of local artists, each bringing their unique styles and energy to the crowd. The event wasn\u2019t just about reggae \u2014 it was a celebration of the wider local music scene, showcasing talent that often goes unnoticed in bigger venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Sonny\u2019s connection to reggae is deeply personal. \u201cI loved reggae as a kid,\u201d he says. \u201cI always thought it was a shame there was nothing I could really go to, no regular places or events where I could enjoy that music with others. So I think it\u2019s just brilliant that now there\u2019s a platform like Ten 2 One for people to come together and experience that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Beyond music, Sonny is passionate about supporting the local economy and community in other ways. His events regularly feature food vendors from nearby businesses, offering delicious, locally made dishes to attendees. He also encourages people to bring their own drinks, especially from local breweries, fostering a sense of pride in homegrown products and strengthening community ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Sonny\u2019s vision is more than just about putting on gigs \u2014 it\u2019s about building a space where music, culture, and community intersect. By making music accessible and affordable, Ten 2 One Sound is helping to nurture a more inclusive, connected, and vibrant local scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Follow Ten 2 One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ten2onesound?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What started as a small reggae group has grown into a movement making music accessible to everyone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":140,"featured_media":2097,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[28,84,62,158,87,86,85],"class_list":["post-565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recreation","tag-community","tag-music","tag-optimism","tag-reagge","tag-sonny-anderson","tag-steel-rockers","tag-ten-2-one"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Free community reggae music events reshape collectives - The Optimist<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn how free reggae events and community music gatherings are strengthening local music scenes, supporting independent artists, and promoting inclusive cultural experiences.
