The Speakers

At Sounds Beautiful, we gather voices that inspire freedom, courage and authentic connection. Our speakers come together to explore what it truly means to live as sovereign individuals, making choices from a place of clarity rather than coercion, building supportive communities, and stepping into our own power.

Through conversations, workshops and shared experiences, we invite our guests to question old systems, challenge limiting narratives and rediscover the strength that comes from thinking and acting independently. We also celebrate wellbeing in its many forms, offering space for alternative approaches to health, spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with the natural world. Our speakers guide guests toward healing, grounding and reconnecting with the land, while encouraging open dialogue and curiosity. Together, we create a space where people can come alive, explore new possibilities, and build the kind of community where freedom, honesty and compassion can truly thrive.

British author, activist, public speaker, and true-crime media host. Formerly a stock-market millionaire in his early 20s, Shaun Attwood’s life took a dramatic turn when he became involved in ecstasy trafficking in the United States and was sentenced to prison, during which he read over 1000 books in under 6 years and re-evaluated his life.

  • His incarceration drew international media attention to harsh prison conditions and human-rights issues. He is now banned from entering America for life.

    Shaun reinvented himself as a writer and broadcaster, producing a popular True Crime podcast and YouTube channel with millions of subscribers and authoring multiple books exploring crime, incarceration, and systemic injustice. His work often focuses on exposing corruption within the justice system and amplifying the voices of those impacted by it.

    Attwood continues to speak publicly on issues ranging from criminal justice reform to global crime networks and continues to expose the corruption of those such as Epstein and The Royal Family. We are beyond grateful that Shaun is coming to our festival.

Rachel Elnaugh-Love

Her talks are powerful, honest and uplifting, weaving real-world success with soul-level growth, resilience, reinvention and self-belief.

    Rachel co-created the Cressbrook Dale Estate community and raised crowdfunding to purchase 53 acres of beautiful woodland and grazing land in the Peak District outright, all of which means she is a voice worth listening to.

    At Sounds Beautiful Festival, Rachel will share her extraordinary journey and offer empowering insights on:

    • Creating abundance with integrity

    • Turning adversity into opportunity

    • Living courageously and authentically

    • Building success without selling your soul

The Bowler Hat Farmer

Our food supply is broken and needs replacing with a fairer system for both the farmer and the consumer, with chemical-free nutritiously dense quality food. We achieve this by working together. We’re delighted to welcome Mark Byford, the renowned regenerative farmer and land steward dedicated to working in harmony with nature to Sounds Beautiful.

Jonathan Cook

Jonathan is the co founder of Dora’s Dairy, a small grass-fed raw milk dairy near Swindon in Wiltshire. His farm runs a cow calf system where calves stay with their mothers and cows are milked in a low pressure environment focused on animal welfare, soil health and producing nutrient dense food. Jonathan’s approach to farming was shaped by his own personal health journey.

  • After experiencing significant improvements in his health through a carnivore diet based on animal foods, he began to question modern dietary advice and the way food is produced. That journey led him to rethink how his cows should be fed and managed, returning to a simpler system based entirely on grass and natural nutrition.

    Today Jonathan sells raw milk and other farm produce directly to customers and has seen a growing number of people seeking real, unprocessed food and a closer connection to the farmers who produce it.

Mark Playne

 Mark from Not on the Beeb has achieved something controversial and revolutionary: using artificial intelligence to extract the truth about what's really happening to humanity. Through a brilliant series of probing questions, he's managed to get an AI to connect dots that have been deliberately kept separate, revealing an extraordinary technological operation happening right under our noses. Discover how solar flares, 19 GHz frequencies and graphene oxide create the perfect storm for controlling human biology.

  • Learn why your unexplained symptoms, from tinnitus to heart problems, might actually be your body's response to an electromagnetic world that's been engineered for more than just communications. What makes this truly groundbreaking is watching AI itself confirm what independent researchers have been saying for years. It's like watching a witness crack on the stand in real time. Don't miss this extraordinary dialogue between human intuition and artificial intelligence. The truth they've uncovered together might just save lives, possibly even your own.

    In 2015  Mateus was invited to go and live at an off grid community in the Portuguese mountains. It was here that his perspective on our reality experienced a complete shift. Everything changed when he was able to live deep in nature for a prolonged period. he broke free of our programmed existence and miracles happened in real time. He was able to stop wearing contact lenses through the practice of sun gazing and through this practice he also realised that our cosmology was also far from what we are being taught. Mateus says we are so much more than we are being led to believe and we look forward to him sharing his story with you.
