Pete took a break from the CiB Shop to give an update 2 weeks in, The Photography Collective formed and held their first meeting and We Are Eastside launched linking up Eastside’s creative organisations. Project Brutal was announced too.

The Bulls Head shared a few mixes from some of their guests and residents, Tindal Street released Alan Apperley’s Indeterminate Creatures, we had a look at As One’s work (as it seemed to be springing up all over the place) and Juice Aleem asked us to rock his hologram, with the video being filmed at Boxxed.

Birmingham promoters, Leftfoot, will be bringing their 10th anniversary year to a close with a string of live soul gigs, starting tonight with NYC disco pioneers Metro Area, followed by veteran producer and DJ Bonobo and Motown superstars Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.

Since launching at The Medicine Bar back in 2000 Leftfoot have played a huge role on Birmingham’s soul scene, Adam Regan, explains the ethos behind the music;

We started out promoting under the name Leftfoot because it seemed to represent the leftfield music we were in to.

I’ve always booked artists I’m passionate about. By making sure our production and hospitality values for live shows stay high, both those on stage and those in the audience share an amazing live experience.
