FREE live music? Drinks in the sun? Step into Next Door Records’ shop without having to leave Television Centre’s Forecourt!

Head on down from 4:30pm on Thursday 3^rd July and enjoy live acoustic performances from London’s emerging musicians, Charles and Bert.

While you’re listening, grab one of Next Door Records’ signature £8 cocktails or sip on refreshing beer and soft drinks served by The Broadcaster from Television Centre’s pop-up bar.

Meet the artists performing:

Bert (@bert.uk):

Originally rooted in UK alt-hip hop, Bert’s sound now blends beat-driven grooves with experimental folk and indie-soul. With previous headline shows across London, Brighton and Leeds and radio play on BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music, his latest work reflects a more introspective direction. Written in a home studio converted from his nana’s art room, his new EP draws from personal experiences, including a return to his hometown and the role of caring for his grandfather.

Charles (@whereischarles):

Charles has indisputably been making waves in London’s underground music scene. Having always taken a keen interest in the neo-soul, R&B and funk genres, Charles weaves the three genre together to create his own organic sound.

Prepare to be transported to a world of infectious rhythms, smooth melodies, and timeless grooves as Charles, a rising star of the funk and soul scene, emerges with a sound that transcends generations.

Charles has been selected as Radio 1’s BBC Introducing Track of the Week, featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday, performed at Latitude Festival, Mighty Hoopla main stage, and had sessions at Maida Vale and Abbey Road studios. Also collaborated with San Soucis and Brother Zulu on tracks that have been playlisted on BBC Radio 6 Music. Described by Dua Lipa’s Service95 magazine as “only a matter of time before he mesmerises the world,” Charles continues to build momentum as one of London’s most promising voices.

Don’t miss this evening of FREE live music and refreshing drinks in front of the iconic Television Centre façade.
