RNIB launches ‘See Through Sound’

RNIB this week held its first of two live music events in central London entitled, See Through Sound.

Organisers invited a crowd to wear ‘sim specs’ (pictured) that obscured vision while being treated to performances by platinum selling artist, Newton Faulkner and Made in Chelsea star Andy Jordon.

The charity event was presented by partially-sighted paralympian judo player and RNIB ambassador Marc Powell, and provided an opportunity for attendees to meditate on the limitations of blindness and appreciate music without sight.

Attendee Chloe Smith said: ‘It was interesting to listen while wearing the sim specs because I felt lost in the room at the start, but then when you settle I found that I became less reliant on sight.
