The Sound Lounge is a live-music bar at Wellington Fold in Darwen, Lancashire (Blackburn with Darwen). Housed in the old Catholic Club — which first opened as the Big House Blues Bar in 2017 and reopened under its current name in September 2023 — it showcases local musicians and quality tribute acts across an intimate room of roughly 160–200, with a friendly team and a good beer selection. Tribute bills such as Pretty Green (a tribute to The Jam) are typical, with two-set evening shows from around 8:30pm. A welcoming grassroots fixture of the Darwen and wider Blackburn live scene.
