Little South is where the artists come to play - created with the goal of supporting and promoting local DJs and Producers in West Cornwall , UK, who specialise in various genres of dance music. The enthusiastic response from the Cornish nightlife community was overwhelming, allowing Little South to become a crucial platform for local artists seeking exposure at events. As time went on, our reach expanded beyond Cornwall and encompassed artists and events from across Devon and the entire South West of England, UK . One of our defining features has been the opportunity to showcase DJ mixes through our podcast series. Since our establishment, we have actively published podcast mixes from some of the most talented DJs in the South West . These mixes serve as a testament to the exceptional skills and creativity of our region's DJs, providing a platform for them to showcase their talent to a wider audience.

At Little South, we have a strong commitment to nurturing nightlife and live music events. A crucial aspect of our work is event promotion, which we prioritize and strive to excel at. Our dedicated team actively seeks out localised, independent music events to showcase and promote. Additionally, we proudly provide a platform for major events happening throughout the South West region, including specialist music festivals and large capacity live music events. By actively supporting and promoting these events, we aim to contribute to a thriving music scene and ensure that both local artists and established acts receive the recognition they deserve.

The Little South pages serve as a platform for emerging musical talent in the South West of England . Our goal is to encourage, foster relationships, and provide opportunities for new artists to showcase their sounds and events. We support DJs, Producers, and Vocalists of all genres within the electronic music landscape. If you are interested in being featured on our pages, we warmly welcome your expressions of interest.

Should We Even Bother With Events Until We Can Attend Them Properly?

The UK's first socially-distanced live music venue is set to open in August 2020.

"It is likely that the groups will be pre-booked together so no new contact with strangers."

Social distancing measures are still in place due to the worldwide coronavirus threat but many countries, including the UK, are easing their restrictions. This weekend UK pubs and restaurants can reopen with strict social distancing measures in place. Nightclubs and theatres are to remain closed for now.

Many large events have been cancelled with festivals moving plans to next year when restrictions are hoped to have eased. Not all events have been cancelled and we are hearing that the UK's first socially-distant music venue will open this summer.

The Virgin Money Unity Arena will open in Newcastle this summer and is expected to offer a range of live entertainment from bands, films and DJ sets courtesy of SSD concerts who plan major artist bookings.

From the visual plans it looks like people will be grouped together in fenced sections 2 metres apart. It is likely that the groups will be pre-booked together so no new contact with strangers.

Is this a good idea? Should we even bother with plans like this if we can't do it properly and socialise? More concerning is that if this plan is popular it could pave the way for events in the future. Or is this just what we need to kick start the live music industry and give us what are missing right now?

The managing director of SSD concerts, Steve Davis says: "Since all of our scheduled concerts have been postponed to later in the year and all venues in the city closed, the staff at SSD had a willingness to continue. We can’t be without music during these times so our only thought has been how can we bring music back to the British public safely and responsibly. We have been hosting loads of live sessions and DJ sets across our social media, supporting local artists and raising money for the NHS. Now, we’re taking it one step further as the UK slowly comes out of Lockdown."
