WHY GENERATION?

Producer, singer/ songwriter and DJ, Idris Elba’s  first release of 2021 champions new and up and coming Canadian talent and hip-hop enthusiast Connor Price on their collaborative record ‘Courteney Cox’.

Goose Island Beer Company and Spotlight have announced the UK’s inaugural virtual Spotlight Festival, taking place from London’s iconic Moth Club on 14th February 2021.

Hastings heavyweights KID KAPICHI announce their anticipated debut album THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, set for release on 5th February 2021. 

Billy Bragg announces that he will tour the UK and Ireland in autumn 2021. Billy previously toured the UK/Ireland on his epic ‘One Step Forward, Two Steps Back’ tour in 2019.
