A special one off event and round-table discussion. A gathering of music heads and people who care and want to talk about the culture.

HOW DO WE TALK ABOUT THIS THING OF OURS?….

Joe Muggs - Music and culture writer alongside:
Krust & Flynn - Bristol legends & brothers.
Lizzy Ellis - Tectonic / Saffron
Charlie Stoic - Terrain
Nathan Worm - Worm Disco / Slippin’ / Hot Wax

Who needs the music press? Is there even such a thing any more? Now that anyone with a TikTok or reels can be a music critic, historian, recommender, commentator or gossip-monger, who decides which voices matter, or do we let the algorithm take control?!? Our esteemed panel will put their wealth of experience into discussing these and more questions (your questions) about how grassroots culture can communicate, connect and keep its identity amongst the information blizzards and constraints of the 2020s music eco-system.

As well as the panel discussion, on the night expect a bar, some DJs and a very nice cosy vibe indeed! - Tickets are limited and free but via a tiny charitable donation of your choosing.

Invite a friend or two in the comments to enter into a competition to win a signed copy of the beautiful @fabriclondonofficial 25 year book complied and written by Joe Muggs!

Thanks to all involved - looking forward to it!
