Mike Lindsay presents supershpapes feat. Anna B Savage & more special guests

Duck into the narrow side streets of the UK coastal town of Margate and you'll come across a secondhand furniture shop called RG Scotts. On its top floor, an assortment of tables — tables that became field recordings, then programmed scatter rhythms, and eventually the foundations of the new solo album from Mike Lindsay: Supershapes (Volume 1).

It’s the first instalment in a series of records from the Mercury Prize-winning producer and mixing engineer (who’s also the co-founder of UK acid folktronica band Tunng, and one half of electronic alt-psych duo LUMP, with Laura Marling), a series that explores “the miraculous in the mundane”. Volume 1 looks widely at “everyday domestic objects, especially tables, coffee table books, and the daily rituals that shape us, heavily focusing on the majestic in the domestic”.

This is a 14+ event.

We are thrilled to announce a special edition of the Belgrave Listening Group, dedicated to celebrating one of the most influential producers of the 21st century—Jamie xx. Since the release of his band's groundbreaking debut LP, "xx," in 2009, Jamie xx has reshaped the landscape of popular music.

In 2015, Jamie xx made his solo debut with the critically acclaimed album "In Colour." Hailed as a masterclass in sonic innovation, the album launched Jamie xx into the stratosphere, delivering iconic tracks such as "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)," the Romy-assisted "Loud Places," and the album’s crowning achievement, the anthemic "Gosh."

This is an album we've longed to delve into since the inception of the Belgrave Music Group, and we’re excited to finally bring this experience to life. Join us for an unforgettable night as we explore the artistry of Jamie xx.

The evening will commence with an exclusive listening session of Jamie xx's latest release, "In Waves," available via Young. Recorded over four years, "In Waves" captures the ebb and flow of Jamie xx’s journey since his last release. In his own words, the album reflects "waves that we have all experienced together and alone," and he set out to create something "fun, joyful, and introspective all at once"—qualities that define the best moments on any dance floor.

\*\*Jamie XX will not be performing or in attendance\*\*

Free entry\* and free eye mask with entry - get down early for the best seats.

\*Limited capacity - a free ticket does not guarentee you a seat.

Not only do I get to play the songs from my new EP live for the first time but it’s my first fully Acoustic tour. I’ll be stripping my songs back to the bare bones of how they sounded in their infancy, indulging in lots of storytelling and celebrating the intimacy of an Acoustic show with audiences. This year I’m going to be visiting some of my favourite cities as well as visiting some Cities for the first time ever!

Hyde Park Brass

plus support

Hyde Park Brass are set for a big return to their hometown of Leeds. Expect ground shaking grooves as they bring their one of a kind show taking much loved classics to another level.

For years the band have worked tirelessly to recreate the sounds of dancehall synths with their trumpets, trombones and saxophones. After pushing this as far as they could, they decided to try fusing electronic elements with the live brass. As a result of this pioneering approach, they found a sound unlike any other. The band is always experimenting and looking for new ways to incorporate the electronic elements into their music to create a sound that is truly one of a kind.

Through their use of high-end tech, and collaboration with an array of top producers, Hyde Park Brass smash through musical barriers and challenge everyone to reimagine their preconceptions of what a brass band can be.

FAQs and Boring Bits

Bye bye glowsticks

BFLF made the decision to stop giving out glowsticks due to environmental issues with single use plastics. We try to be as environmentally friendly as we can at our events using biodegradable balloons where possible, recycling our mural pens and being mindful of the materials we use on our craft tables. People are still welcome to bring them. We've had loads of positive support for this, so we hope you embrace it too!

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

All ages very welcome, but activities are designed with 0-8 years olds in mind. Music is played at safe levels for everyone.

What’s the refund policy?

There is a no refund policy, but if you are unable to attend you may sell your tickets to someone else. If well in advance of a sold out event please email holly@bigfishlittlefishevents.co.uk so we can try and match you with someone on the waiting list.

Tickets and larger groups

For families with younger children (8s and under) though all ages are welcome, as long as there are both adults and children in your party. Adult-only groups are not admitted. A max of 3 children per adult in a family.

Each member of your group must have a ticket and pre-walking infants free (but ticketed). Will cost more on the door (if tickets are available).

If attending as a large birthday party please ensure one adult to two children minimum. We will refuse entry to groups where there is inadequate supervision. If there are more than 4 adults per child in your group please email sophie@bigfishlittlefishevents.co.uk for pre-approval before buying tickets.

Safety

Adults remain responsible for their children at all times.

The event will be busy. The dancefloor is for adults and children to dance together. For indoor events low lighting/club lighting rigs (no strobes) are used.

Please be aware that events are standing/dancing with limited seating.

Each event is stewarded and risk assessed in advance.

Buggies must be left in buggy park outside the event space and will not be allowed on the dance floor.

A licensed bar will be open during the event but no glass is permitted.

Sound levels

Music level is set and monitored throughout to abide by WHO guidelines. This is far lower than usual clubs levels, but given the number of children attending there is a constant level of background noise during the event.

Toilets and nappy changing facilities

There are toilets on all floors and changing tables and/or mats will be available. There will be no high-chairs available.

Photography

We may photograph or film small parts of the event and by entering you are giving your permission for these to be used for BFLF promotion purposes.

Just a reminder…

Please be aware that BFLF is designed to provide a family-friendly, authentic club experience and is not a traditional children’s party or disco. There will be no kids' music, games or DJ shout outs. The effect is to give families unity on the dancefloor – dancing together. DJs will be announced in advance of each party via Twitter and Facebook but may be subject to unavoidable change.
