Major Influential - https://www.instagram.com/major_influential/ - a new events collective launch night with: BAD WITH PHONES - https://www.instagram.com/badwithphones/ Bad With Phones is a one-off. The self-proclaimed ‘extra guy’ is extra in unique ways, and his 2024 debut album CRASH holds a high-wire duality of instant recognisability and true individuality. Manny, as he’s known to his friends, is a guitarist and frontman, a future don of wierdo pop, R&B, rap and post-punk in a pink and blue wig and sunglasses. He’s here to transmit songs that are epic and iconic, low key hypnagogic and soaked in bliss and damage like Tyler The Creator, Grace Jones or Basquiat if they’d grown up in 1990s Deptford listening to Sade and David Bowie. This album is packed with intimate anthems and comedown soothers for the day after a mangled night.

The Sound Of What’s Left is a documentary celebrating London’s precious and few remaining grassroots gig venues. Join us for for a screening and some live music from acts featured in the film - you might even see yourself in one of the scenes. The Sound Of What’s Left was filmed over a five month period at two legendary and beloved venues, The Windmill Brixton and The George Tavern. Featuring important voices from these venues' communities as well as insights from the Music Venue Trust and subculture experts, the documentary shines a light on why grassroots venues are more important than ever - and yet they are under threat. The film was inspired by experiences and conversations had at gigs and the news that 2023 was the worst year on record for the UK’s grassroots music venue sector, with over a tenth of venues closing. The Sound Of What’s Left serves as both a moving tribute and a call to action to protect vital hubs of culture and community. Directed by Yazzi Gokcemen, Cinematography by Mesa Barbusci.
