RNID: For deaf and hard of hearing people.

Breaking the Sound Barrier sound and light show projected on to a building.

The tour started with a sound and light show in Manchester on 25 September 2006 at 8pm in Exchange Square, where Manchester's "Elvis", Elvin Priestly, played live to over 1,000 people.

The sound and light show included sounds and images from the 60's and aimed to get people to think about their hearing.
 
The sound and light show will continue the tour around the UK, stopping at:

  • Edinburgh, St Prince's Street, 18 October 2006
  • Belfast, 10 November 2006
  • Cardiff, 7 December 2006
  • Birmingham, 9 January 2007.

Specific locations will be published when available.

The tour also involves our Breaking the Sound Barrier bus. We’ll be encouraging people to take the telephone hearing check and will be available to answer any questions on hearing loss.
