Disability Arts Advisory Group

Sonic Bothy and the Scottish Music Centre are seeking four members to join the Disability Arts Advisory Group (DAAG) to guide the initial development of Resound:
Scotland’s Inclusive Music Collection.

This new digital archive collection celebrates the work and legacy of contemporary Disabled music artists in Scotland.

We welcome interest from people with lived experience of disability who want to help shape how Disabled artists’ work is represented, archived and shared. You may be:

• Disabled and Neurodivergent artist working in any form or genre of music.
• Someone with lived experience of disability working in or involved in music-focused Arts, in areas such as arts management, advocacy, community engagement, and archives.

Contributors will be paid £75 per session (max. 3 hours per session). This role includes three paid contributions, totalling £225 per contributor.

We are committed to access-led participation. We will work with Advisory Group members to identify and support individual access requirements, including captioning, BSL interpretation and flexible ways of contributing. Advisory Group sessions will be held remotely with optional in-person meet-ups in central Glasgow.

You do not need to have prior experience with archive collections or formal panels. We welcome a range of experiences, including those new to advisory work.

To apply, please email the following items to

• A short statement explaining why you would like to take part and how you would like to contribute to the Advisory Group and the programme.
• A brief outline of your artistic practice, or a link to your professional website if you have one.

Your statement can be written, audio or video. All formats are equally welcome. As a guide, your application should be no longer than two A4 pages or an equivalent length in audio or video.

The Final date to receive applications is 26th Feb at midday.

We are happy to discuss access needs and provide information in alternative formats. Email Christine at Sonic Bothy with any recruitment or access enquiries:  .

We actively welcome applications from individuals who are Disabled, Neurodivergent, Black and people of colour, LGBTQ+, people from working-class or low-income backgrounds. We are committed to equitable recruitment, fair freelance pay, and building inclusive, collaborative working environments.
