ILUVLIVE is the UK's Premier Homegrowen Live Music Event. If you haven’t followed the ILUVLIVE story, we launched in June 2004 as a place to showcase urban talent with a live band. Originally at the very intimate Suga Suga on London’s Wardour St, the night moved to the roomier Market Place in February 2006 and now resides at Favela Chic.
In September 2007 with the support of the Arts Council England, The PRS Foundation, Live Mechanics, MTV Base and BBC 1Xtra, ILUVLIVE launched a series of city residencies in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Derby and Bristol culminating in a Best of ILUVLIVE at Cargo in March 2008. Over the course of six months three events were filmed for MTV Base and one recorded for BBC 1Xtra.
The night has showcased artists as diverse and well established as Omar, Ear Dis, Kano, Keisha White, Ms Dynamite, Sway, Shola Ama, JME, Skinnyman, Terri Walker, Plan B, Mpho, Natty, Lady Sovereign, CocknBullKid, The Thirst, Nate James, Mutya, Akala, Bashy, Faith SFX, Nathan and more.
Each event features 6-8 acts drawn from all genres of homegrown music. We try to ensure each show features alternative, R&B, acoustic soul, grime, hip hop, pop and everything in between and all artists perform live with their own, or our resident band.
We have a 60 second open mic so if you want to get involved, sign up on the night. You’ll be given 60 seconds to show us what you can do and the most popular act with the audience wins a coveted slot at the following months show to perform with our house band. We have limited slots for each event so make sure you get there early to sign up. Original material only, no backing tracks but if the band catch the vibe they will join in. This is the best way to get a slot on ILUVLIVE as our regular slots are booked up 2-3 months in advance and we expect an act to have some press, radio play or A&R interest before they get one of these. If you want to be added to the list of acts to be considered email info@impactventures.co.uk and eunice@urbandevelopment.co.uk.
The primary aims are to provide a premium showcase to the public and provide an opportunity for young emerging talent to perform with a live band alongside established performers and musicians. The event itself has become a meeting point for music industry professionals from record labels, management, publishing companies and radio. As well as providing networking opportunities it also offers emerging artists rare access to major music industry figures.
