Welcome to Champion Sound.

This website is dedicated to the production of the documentary film, ‘Champion Sound: The History of Coventry Sound Systems.’

The film celebrates the incredible history of the Jamaican Sound System, looking at Coventry as one of a number of UK cities where the Sound System culture flourished.

Outside of London, Midlands cities had an often unsung but vital role in UK Sound System culture.

The film features internationally renowned artists alongside the people of Coventry who made it happen, who built the sounds, who went to the dances, ultimately telling the story from the 1950s to the 1990s.

Champion Sound is a celebration of a musical and cultural phenomena that formed the soundtracks of our lives.

The film was completed in May 2008, after 10 months in production.

We hope you enjoy this resource as much as we did putting it together.
