Delta 7
diversity + music + community = advocacy
Delta 7 is a seven-piece rock band which was formed as a result of an Arts Connect music course in 2014 and is now celebrating 10 years of making music together.
The band members have different personalities, talents, and disabilities but their shared love of performing, positive energy and mutual support allows them to create music that is infectious and inspiring. Delta 7 is an uplifting and powerful voice for everyone who feels a little outside of ‘mainstream’ society.
Celebrating A DECADE OF DELTA 7!
The band celebrated 10 years of music with a beautiful songbook "10 Years of Songs".

You can watch highlights from Delta 7th 10th Anniversary celebration below:
The band were delighted to have secured funding in 2020 from the PRS Foundation. The funding enabled the recording of their third album, The Lockdown Sessions, inspired by their experience of the pandemic.
"We want to be able to do what other bands do. We want to get better and the only way we can do that is by keeping making music, isn't it"
The story of Delta 7 has also been documented in 2 award-winning films directed by Rosie Baldwin, We Rise and DELTA 7EVEN.
"Delta 7 create a brilliantly atmospheric sound that reminds me of post-punk band, The Fall. Their message reminds us all of the
value of music as a tool of empowerment. We’re proud and
honoured to support the band”
Mike Oughton, Creative Director, McCann London
