Welcome
SUPERACT! is a music development agency working with professional and amateur musicians to bring music of all different genres to local communities throughout the UK.
This website is designed to illustrate the nature of our work and show how music can enliven lives and bring joy and pleasure to everyone.
We work in many different fields and with many different groups of people, promoting live music and assisting those with lack of access to be able to appreciate it.
If you are a musician looking to find work within the sectors you will find on this website, then we will be happy to hear from you. Likewise, if you are a community group, looking for workshops or projects involving music which you think we can help you with, then, please do not hesitate to call us.

SUPERACT! is delighted to announce that it has secured a major Government grant for The Learning Revolution programme spearheaded by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
The whole programme is aimed at innovative informal adult learning projects in England.
SUPERACT! will head up a project called 'Music in Time' which will address the gap in proivision of education for the older prison population. Working alongside ACOOP (Age Concern Older Offenders Project), SUPERACT! will run music workshops in three Devon prisons and seek to develop the personal skills of those who take part.
Music has been shown to be an effective medium for helping increase confidence, communication skills, social skills and improve emotional behaviour and SUPERACT! is delighted that the whole project will be evaluated by the University of the West of England.
Being involved with projects such as this is very important to the work of SUPERACT!, especially when it is recognised at Government level.
