BiG i AM Promotions and Management

BiGiAM is a PR, marketing, promotion and management company for Brighton and beyond.

We are a small, well formed promotions company, specialising in music and the arts. Our portfolio is relatively wide and relatively varied but, in the last couple of years, we're a playing a significant role in the development, project management and the marketing/promotions of a number of Brighton and area based events. These include:-

- Meadowlands Festival - 100 acts, across 4 stages over 3

days at Glynde Place 2011
- Brighton Music Awards - prestigious sold out awards event at the Brighton Centre, featuring Jimmy Page,Roger Daltrey and more.
- Brighton Fashion Week - Its aim is to encourage and nurture industry creative capital locally, nationally and internationally. It seeks to further establish Brighton as a cultural centre for the fashion industry. Other clients include partnerships with, amongst others, one of Europe's finest and best regarded recording studios, a word-wide boutique guitar maker (with links to the V&A, world renown designers and more), multi media organisations (IPTV, independent radio stations) as well as artist management and development - indeed, we've overseen the development of our main artist from open mic to main stage festival performer, now involved with grammy winning producers and world class musicians. Not everything we do is necessarily as glamourous and high profile, but we'd like to think our connections, reputation, experience and hard work are invariably beneficial to whatever project or commission we turn our hand to. So, if you think we can help; please approach us for a no obligation chat; we may well be less expensive than you might think. Our passion is to provide unrivalled value and excellence in everything we do. BiGiAM are, in essence, four experienced associates who have, between them, served as a Communications Director for a multi national, multi billion industry, founded the original Brighton fringe festival, been main programmers for sizable and prestigious venues, promoted literally thousands of shows, worked with hundreds of major labels and major label artists, managers, agents and promoters, sourced very many thousands of pounds in funding and sponsorship, contributed (and continue to contribute) to many of Brighton's main music media (written and broadcast) and much, much, more besides.

📣 New show 📣

Teilhard Frost & Jock Tyldesley: A brand new duo with the best of old time music!

Teilhard and Jock found a shared love of Appalachian fiddle tunes around a full table, licking plates and dancing in the kitchen. They’re both tall, rather polite, love great food and play twin fiddles and occasional banjo, and who knows what else too!

Canadian musician and instrument maker, Teilhard (tay-YAR) Frost specialises in traditional folk music with a focus on Appalachian old time music.
He has spent the last twenty years touring with the sensational rag-time outfit Sheesham, Lotus, and ‘Son. Other work include The Os project with Jason Mercer (Ani diFranco, Ron Sexsmith), The Complete Recordings of Hezekiah Proctor with L'il Andy, Succeeder with Michael Duguay, Jenny Whiteley, Joey Wright, and miles of studio session work for over 50 albums and film. He currently lives on Wolfe Island in the St. Lawrence River, straddling the border of Canada and the United States. There he makes banjos, his supper and his bed.

Jock Tyldesley is perhaps best known for his fiddling in Cajun bands such as The Flatville Aces and the Bearcats, as well as more off-the-wall antics with The New Rope String Band and The Chipolatas.
He also nurtures a long-time passion for Southern Appalachian old time fiddle and banjo tunes, whilst touring with his regular bands and US acts such as Eddie LeJeune, The Dirk Powell Band, Sheryl Cormier, Martha Scanlan, Beverly Smith and Carl Jones and Balfa Toujours.

"This is the most heart warming, community orientated, diversity friendly, innovative, well curated and still, cosy and small, festival in the UK.

On top of that it is organised amongst amazing grounds of a public school, so you participate in workshops/concerts both indoors and outdoors.

Make sure that you grab your ticket for Sun and Moon Festival and became part of the family (SAM family, as we call it)."

Powerful folk duo Mama’s Broke + special guests play on Wednesday 4th June.

Mama’s Broke is a powerful folk duo that deliver a compelling performance with heart and raw energy. Although highly influenced by their Canadian roots, Lisa and Amy are based out of nowhere and everywhere.

Their two strong voices blend to create haunting harmonies, while they artfully juggle fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin, and incorporate traditional dance and foot percussion into their performance. Their original – and often dark – compositions push the boundaries of tradition and the constraints of genre.

Drawing from old-time, Quebecois, blues, punk, Celtic, Balkan and doom metal, they create a soundscape that is both familiar and new.

Since forming the band in 2014, Mama’s Broke has gained momentum fast; having already completed two European, and several Canadian and U.S. tours. They have performed in a wide range of venues, from circus shows in New Orleans, to pirate ships in Amsterdam, to concert halls in Ireland, to theatres in Brooklyn. In this way, they stay true to the transient nature of folklore, as they travel the world sharing and collecting song.

"Multi-instrumentalists Amy Lou and Lisa Maria are masterful songwriters who sing their lyrics as incantations …twin prophets who bend our ear effortlessly and beckon us ever forward." ~ Kaia Kater

"... a contemporary offering that's as dark as December."~ Penguin Eggs.

Herman Dune + special guests play on Tuesday 21st October.

Herman Dune, the most Californian of French songwriters and a defining figure of anti-folk, presents Odysseús, a musical journey through his tumultuous life...

Founded in the late 1990s, Herman Dune is the project of Franco-Swedish artist David Ivar. Drawing from folk influences (Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen), country (Townes Van Zandt, John Prine), and indie-folk (Elliot Smith, Lucinda Williams, Silver Jews), David Ivar, born and raised in Paris, had to create his own scene to express himself at a time when singing in English with an acoustic guitar on Parisian stages was considered absurd.

Since 2015, Herman Dune has been based in San Pedro, the working-class, port district of Los Angeles - a mecca of Californian punk rock (Minute Men, Black Flag) - with his wife and collaborator Mayon, and their three black cats. From his California bungalow, he runs his own label (Santa Cruz Records), has released six albums, out of a total of fifteen( Sweet Thursday, Santa Cruz Gold, Notes From Vinegar Hill, and the trilogy The Portable Herman Dune Vol. 1-3), and has composed several film scores, including Mariage à Mendoza and Pétaouchnock (both by Edouard Deluc).

Herman Dune, the most Californian of French songwriters and a defining figure of anti-folk, presents Odysseús, a musical journey through his tumultuous life, set for release on June 13th, via Santa Cruz Records.

Eliza Carthy (solo) + Jennifer Reid play Lewes Con Club on Friday 20th June.

Eliza Carthy
If there is one musician who embodies the dynamism and vitality of the current English folk revival, it’s Eliza Carthy MBE.

As the daughter of folk legends Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson, Eliza grew up immersed in the world of traditional music and from an early age was championed by John Peel, Andy Kershaw and Billy Bragg.

Beloved of staunch traditionalists and iconoclasts alike, Eliza’s music effortlessly crosses boundaries of genre and style. Whether solo or fronting a big band, performing a centuries-old ballad or a self-written song, her powerful, nuanced voice, fiercely beautiful fiddle-playing, and mesmerizing performances have influenced a whole generation of young musicians.

Twice nominated for the Mercury Prize, and winner of innumerable other accolades over her thirty-year career, Eliza has performed and recorded around the world with a diverse array of artists including, Paul Weller, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Patrick Wolf, and Jarvis Cocker.

Describing herself simply as a modern English musician, she is one of the most impressive, engaging, and important performers of her generation.

"Unarguably the queen of English Folk" ~ The Observer

Jennifer Reid performs 19th Century Lancashire dialect work songs, Manchester broadside ballads and clog steps. She played Barb in Shane Meadows’ critically acclaimed period drama The Gallows Pole on the BBC. She works across academia, folk performance, heritage consultation and media to bring industrial history back to the people. Think rousing songs and passionate oratory.

Doors 8pm / Start 8.30pm
