Tots Gigs - Autumn 2018 programme:

Daytime gigs for parents, and little ones with discerning musical taste

A SoundsCreative Projects event

BUY a season ticket for all 3 gigs for just £20!

For all parents who miss going to gigs in the evening! Tots Gigs is a monthly morning series of acoustic gigs for parents, with babies/toddlers in tow.

Bringing to the stage an eclectic mix of established & emerging musicians from the London world, folk  and contemporary music scene. From percussive alt-folk via classical minimalism to high-energy experimental creativity, every month we programme a new artist/band to perform so there is music for all tastes.

These relaxed,inspiring and intimate gigs are for appreciative audiences of parents along with sleeping, feeding, wandering, dancing tots.

This Autumn 2018 season marks the launch of a new exciting collaboration with The Nest Collective to bring the brightest and best of folk, world and new music performers to the Tots Gigs stage, kicking off the season with a performance from the founder and revered Mercury nominated folk singer Sam Lee.

Samantha Whates

Gorgeous singer, song writer, Samantha Whates returns to the Tots Gigs stage.
