SynthFest UK 2022 takes place in Sheffield on Saturday 8th of October 2022 (10:30am – 6:30pm) and has been created by Sound On Sound magazine to give companies of all sizes an opportunity to showcase their synth products in front of the public in what promises to be a great day out for all musicians, whether a pro, semi-pro or hobbyist.

Been to a couple before, and will be going this year.
Sarah Angliss’ seminar is something of interest to me, and open mic is always entertaining.
Leave them in the car with the radio on, packet of crisps and a can each… ‘be back in 5 mins kids, behave…’ = 4-5 hours of synthfest’n.
(I joke, but this was a regular 80s childhood experience for me… the Motor Show at Birmingham NEC in 1986… I read the same issue of WhatCar about 5 times.)
Looking through the list of exhibitors and seminars there’s nothing I’m especially desperate to see, which is oddly quite pleasant and very much unlike previous years. It means I can just wander about freely with no expectations whatsoever. I’m quite interested to see the West Pest on the cre8audio stand and it’s always nice to see familiar faces like Gideon and Tony from Soundgas but in general: no fixed agenda. Nice.
Brilliant! I’m massively looking forward to it. Sheffield legends & friends + iconic synths and a celebration of a Tristram Cary idea. What’s not to like?
