A creative organisation with purpose
NINE RED Presents began as a DJ and Poet collaboration, producing Sound with Vision — an explosive blend of sound, colour and movement that brought storytelling to life through multiple mediums and deep listening.
That foundation grew into an interdisciplinary organisation spanning theatre arts, multimedia performance, art installations and exhibitions, spoken word and soundworks, carnival arts as therapy, bespoke art projects, cultural exhibitions and workshops, photo mosaics and montages, hand-poured candles and waxworks, 3D printing, community art projects, and visual, digital and graphic art.
Founded by Debra Knight and Gordon Davis
NINE RED Presents was founded by Debra Knight, also known as Naz Knight, and Gordon Davis, also known as DJ Silky G, whose creative partnership has shaped the organisation from the beginning.
Chief Executive Officer
Debra Knight LL.B (Hons), also known as Naz Knight, is Chief Executive Officer of NINE RED Presents CIC, a United Nations award winner for work with women and girls, a Word Mechanic, Poet, Writer and Poetry Champion for Bedfordshire. She is a narrative-driven creative whose work spans poetry, prose, performance, facilitation and project design, often weaving together lived experience, social justice and healing-centred practice.
As Poet in Residence at Luton Town Football Club through the National Literacy Trust and Arts Council England’s A Poem For Your Club project, she brought poetry into new spaces, connecting football culture with literacy, belonging and voice. Alongside her creative practice, she is a Kemetyu Holistic Health Practitioner and Narrative Psychologist, bringing integrative approaches to wellbeing, decolonial thinking and personal transformation into the organisation’s work. Her leadership style combines strategic direction with deep listening, ensuring NINE RED’s programmes remain survivor-informed, community-rooted and grounded in the belief that people can rewrite their own stories.
Founder and Director
Gordon Davis, also known as DJ Silky G, is founder and director of NINE RED Presents. His sound-led vision, production work and long-standing creative partnership at the heart of the organisation have helped shape its distinctive interdisciplinary identity for more than two decades.
He is a Luton-based DJ, community creative and events organiser known for blending classic old skool jungle, soulful house and timeless dancefloor anthems into high-energy, feel-good sets.
Performing under the tag line “Why settle for cotton, when you can move with Silk”, he has built a reputation for smooth transitions, deep crate-digging selections and a hosting style that puts crowd connection at the centre of every night.
His work often crosses over with local arts and community projects, bringing a distinctive musical identity to grassroots events and culturally focused nights across Bedfordshire and beyond.
Piece by Peace belongs in the heart of this homepage
A celebration of what the community built together, and a call to keep the spirit alive as we work toward a new community hub for Sundon Park.
Piece by Peace was built by community hands, community care and community imagination. Together, residents, volunteers, artists, partners and supporters helped shape a living space for creativity, wellbeing, conversation, food growing, festivals, exhibitions and connection.
We want to thank everyone who gave their time, practical help, materials, energy, belief and presence. What was created mattered. It brought people together, made room for joy and healing, and showed what becomes possible when local people build with purpose.
Awards and credibility
Trusted, experienced and community-rooted creative practice, recognised locally and nationally.
