Broccoli Events – UK Events and Promoters
Apr 14th
What’s new? Broccoli Events is new!
Having worked as promoters in the UK new music scene for the past 5 years it seems like an obvious and natural progression to add an events company to Broccoli Music and that’s exactly what they’ve done.
Events and music go hand in hand so Broccoli Events has an advantage on the rest with sister company Broccoli Music feeding them the best emerging artists on the scene. Companies want links into the youth market and thats what Broccoli Events has the ability to offer. Companies like XFM and Nokia were using Broccoli Music’s connection with bands and the scene that comes with them to link to the youth market and this is a valuble tool that Broccoli Events has to offer to clients.
So what do they do? They do parties, that’s what they’re known for, be it a private party, after show party, brand launch or beyond. They work closely with you developing ideas and designing an event package that ticks all the boxes.
What else is different? They have access to a network of affiliates, all of which are proven industry professionals, so whatever the event requires they can put together a specialist team.
Broccoli Events are always on the look out to add to their team of affiliates so check out the website and get in touch.

The Magpies Nest grabs BBC Folk Club of 2010 Award
Feb 12th
BBC FOLK CLUB of 2010 WINNERS ‘The Magpie’s Nest’ has grown from the enormous success of being simply a monthly night at the Old Queen’s Head pub on Essex Road into a collective of promoters and enthusiasts of folk, world and traditional music. The question is: how could we not? After nearly four years in the running, the original founders of the club, Joe Buirski and Sam Lee, have discovered such a wealth of talented musicians and bands to work with, and have been comforted by a resurgent interest in traditional music amongst the public, in the media, and within the music industry as a whole, that expansion was inevitable.
“The Magpie’s Nest” now represents an umbrella organisation determined to continue to promote quality new, traditional and roots music at various venues across London and at Festivals up and down the country. The Magpie’s Nest has grown and blossomed into an ever expanding collective, with new nights, new ideas, new music, and new venues across the capital – all reflecting and representing the diverse and divergent styles of music we care to label “folk”.
The two primary strands in the development of The Magpie’s Nest are labeled Two For Joy and Folklahoma! Both promise to bring you new and exciting events at both familiar and new venues, and both promise to remain true to the founding mantra of the Magpie’s Nest: “New Folk, Old Folk and No Folk” – in other words, in providing a platform for the entire spectrum of the ‘folk’ music genre: from veteran performers and purveyors of the tradition through to those influenced by traditional material and creating solely new music. The difference? Two new teams, two new sets of eyes and ears, and a doubling of the capacity of The Magpie’s Nest Collective to bring you exciting events and outstanding live music.
