CirKT launches a new live music
project offering opportunities for some of the most talented musicians from
the South West London area to perform at music venues from August to November this year. CirKT presents
a dedicated, packed live music programme, re-igniting a love for
nightlife and a passion for live music across this part of London.
The first CirKT night kicked off at The Glasshouse in New Malden on the 8th August 2019 with Alex Brenchley, a quirky off
kilter singer-songwriter providing lo-fi acoustic eccentricities (he’s also a cartoonist for The New Statesman) and British Hip Hop duo Graver Ekow with their bouncy and beasty lyricals.

The loss of venue spaces is one of the
biggest problems facing London’s live music sector and CirKT has
developed an ecosystem style approach to respond to this. Kingston
Council was awarded The Mayor of London’s Cultural Impact Award,
and CirKT will officially launch its four-month music
programme with its final New Talent Call Out, seeking the best of
London’s music talent. An eclectic mix of artists have already been
chosen, but there are still more places available to receive once in
a lifetime professional development, networking support and
performance opportunities. Up to three acts will have the opportunity
of securing a bursary of £500.
