A collaboration of professional musicians and adults with learning disabilities; writing, experiencing and performing music at small pubs, big festivals, live radio and everything in between.

We believe in a world where there is no us and them, and are on a mission to challenge people to think differently about learning disabilities.

Meeting weekly in Rickmansworth, Hemel Hempstead and Watford (Hertfordshire) Electric Umbrella offer 60 adults with learning disabilities countless opportunities to get on stage alongside professional musicians and show the public at large what they CAN do.

We release records, put on big shows in big theatres, host our own summer festival 'Umbrellafest', play other peoples events, tour with our Little Yellow Theatre, host corporate team building days, present at conferences, have gigged too many times to count (well over 100 times since we began!), and even written our own musical.

We are challenging the perception of people with learning disabilities with thousands of people each year.

Co-creation and a can do attitude is at the heart of what Electric Umbrella is all about.
