Acoustickle MCR Launches at Band on the Wall:
This Thursday, our Manchester adventure kicks off (months ahead of schedule). An artist call out with Band on the Wall brought SO many exceptional local artists to our attention that we’re launching early.
KITTY, Lydia Prettyman, Kikè, Jess Edie are the soulful main course, with our fave Mancunian DJ Rick Donohue the starter and dessert + a special appearance from Unxqly Dan 🌹
Tickets & Info HERE.
Our 15th Birthday:
Can’t quite believe it but we’re 15 years old this Spring. Our birthday free party in Nottingham will be at New Art Exchange’s YOUnique Festival.
Friday 15th March, we have some of your fave RNB, soul, Afrobeats, dancehall and hip hop acts: Alex Mighten, Tracy Luvv, Lyvia, Megs, Garton, DJ Just Jai + a new Notts CYF artist, Chava. RSVP for free here.

(we can’t exactly remember).
