British Black Music
Month 2013
June is British black music month kicking off
with a debate and ends with a club night.
Black History Month (BBMM)
kicking off with a debate and
ending with a night club. It
forms part of a day's programme of activities organised by the UK Black Music
Research Unit at the University of Westminster's Marylebone Road campus.
The day of discussions is
wrapped up the evening by
joining
the
MusicConnex
crew for the MCX Live Showcase, which is the official

at Labroke Grove's The Flyover club. This showcase features a live set by two American, and five British soul/R&B
acts including Tasita D'Mour
and Sherry Davis Root, plus
the likes of Solar Radio's JM

There will be open days on
Fridays and Saturdays from
mid-June to July at the Com-
ing Soon Club near Wembley
Stadium, where there will be
vinyl, CDs and books on sale,
informal discussions, opportunities for aural demonstrations on the CD and record
decks, and engagement with
industry experts such as producer/remixer Kwame Kwateng during the 'Veterans'
Front Room: Talking Vinyl
& Music Industry Memories'
sessions.
BBMM2013 ends with the Your
Fave BBMM Videos club night
at Upstairs @ The Ritzy on
Saturday July 20. It will be an
opportunity to let your hair
down listening to a range of
domestic black music genres
played by the likes of Mi-Soul
DJ Lindsay Wesker, and also
see the countdown of popular
BBM videos.
