ABOUT EVENT
On Saturday 18th July, we’re celebrating with a full day and night of live music, DJs, great food, drinks and a few surprises along the way, running from the afternoon right through until 2am.
Live music comes from Olayá, a female-led flute and percussion band inspired by the bandas de pífanos of Northeastern Brazil. Their sound brings together bamboo flutes, rich vocal harmonies, bass, driving percussion and the joyful pulse of Brazilian forró, moving between rootsy dance music and lush, more reflective moments.
Across the day and night, the DJs will take things through percussive grooves, disco, Latin heat, rare records and deep dancefloor selections.
Zag Erlat, the person behind My Analog Journal, joins with a deep record bag spanning high-energy grooves, disco classics and unshazamable gems from the early 70s to the late 90s. Norsicaa brings her wide-reaching global sound, shaped by years at Sounds of the Universe, Soundway Records and now her own label, Sama Sama.
CSGRV brings soulful, rhythmic selections with a focus on movement, feeling and connection, while Peruben digs into golden cumbia, psychedelic Peruvian chicha and Latin grooves from the Andes to the Pacific coast.
We’ll also be joined by Williams Cumberbache, master percussionist and the heartbeat behind our weekly Canalside Sessions, whose playing and curation have helped shape so much of Grow’s sound by the water.
Expect live music, heavy grooves, global rhythms, canal-side energy and the full Grow flavour from start to finish.
ABOUT GROW
It’s kind of crazy to think we’re here again, celebrating another birthday. Twelve years tucked away in our little corner of the Grow Studios warehouse, building things slowly, carefully and with a DIY spirit from day one.
Grow started as an experiment. Could an independent venue challenge the status quo and put people, planet and culture before profit? Twelve years later, we’re proud to still be here, still doing things our own way, and still grounded in the same morals and ethics that shaped the space from the beginning
Over the years, Grow has evolved through the people who have worked here, played here, danced here, eaten here, listened here and helped bring the venue to life. Our cultural programme has grown with that energy, shaped by the artists, musicians, collectives and promoters we’ve been lucky enough to work with along the way. From grassroots live music and jazz to forward-thinking club nights, deep listening sessions and community gatherings, the programme has always been about creativity, connection and the feeling of music in a room.
