South Cheshire Synth Society

I set up South Cheshire Synth Society a couple of years ago as a place holder. I’ve brought Little Forest Films onboard (see links below) and we are currently hashing out some ideas that we are hoping to bring to our socials in the next couple of months. We have many plans for this project and are currently bringing a few things together for the projects first steps. More news to follow.

South Cheshire Synth Society – bringing people together with a shared interest in sound in the North West of England.
