Our story.

The idea that started it.

It was a simple idea: to connect artists and venues while offering those extra design services that bring everything together. The goal was to provide everything you need for live music—whether you’re a venue, an event organiser, a music shop, or even planning a wedding. Be it something we provide ourselves or help you source, we’re here to help you pull it all together. And that’s the idea we’re built on.

Why we started it.

Why start another music agency in Yorkshire when there are already others? Because we’re not just another music agency—we’re a Creative Music Agency. We bring that extra spark with a range of design services that go beyond our full live music offering. In fact, we believe so strongly in the value of great design that we even provide some of it for free (like custom posters, learn more here)—this is where we truly stand out. We’re here to make your gigs and events feel seamless, stress-free, and enjoyable

The people that started it.

At the end of the day, live music isn’t just about the sound; it’s about the experience and the way it brings people together (and through the door!). We come from a mix of gig-goers, performers, and music professionals. BufferSounds is built on a shared love for live music and a drive to help get it out there. That’s why we came together: to bring more live music to Yorkshire and beyond, while helping to spread the word.

Now we’ve started it.

BufferSounds was officially founded at the beginning of 2024. After a year of development, branding, and networking—finding our true BufferSounds identity—we finally started bringing music to the world in late 2024. Now it’s 2025, and we’ve hit the ground running. With a growing range of gigs booked, an expanding roster of artists, and a widening network of venues, our idea of bringing music to Yorkshire and beyond is no longer just an idea—it’s a reality.

Meet the founders

Bringing together years of experience in music and design, life-long friends and founders, Enis and Gary founded BufferSounds. Enis has a background in the music world, and Gary specialises in design and web. Together, they’ve built BufferSounds as a Creative Music Agency, this approach ensures every detail is handled with the care and expertise you’d want to see.

Enis Bakolli

I’m Enis, co-founder of BufferSounds and the go-to for all things music. With years of experience performing live, organising gigs, and managing venues, I’ve seen every side of the music world. Live music is what im passionate for—I’m still performing most weekends, known as EnisBMusic, but I also love helping artists land their dream gigs and ensuring everything runs smoothly. At BufferSounds, I combine my love for performing with my drive to support artists and venues across Yorkshire and beyond, helping create unforgettable live music experiences.

Gary Wood

I’m Gary, co-founder of BufferSounds and head of all things design. My background spans motion, graphic, and web design, giving me the skills to take on the creative challenges of BufferSounds. While I handle a lot of the behind-the-scenes work—like building websites or designing gig posters—you’ll still catch me out with a camera at our gigs, running around at BufferSounds events, or sitting back with a pint of cider enjoying one of our artists. For me, live music and design go hand in hand, and BufferSounds is the perfect place to bring my two biggest passions together.
