Little but LIVE! is a voluntary organisation putting on small scale events for the local community from comedy, to music, to dancing.
We were originally formed by Paperback who kindly host our website, but now function seperately.
WELCOME TO THE 6TH YEAR OF LITTLE BUT LIVE!
This year is a little but smaller but no less LIVE than previous festivals. Despite not receiving any funding for this years festival we have decided to host a tiny selection of brilliant events for you. Do come along and support, and enjoy some time soaking up live culture in our wonderful community.
Friday 19th September
7.30pm - 9.30pm
The iconic Rachel Baker returns to host Giggle but LIVE!
A comedy night showcasing some of our city's finest talent, who have come to try out new material on you - the unsuspecting (but now suspecting) audience.
Join us for a night of belly laughs, hysteria and giggles.
Tickets from £5
Saturday 23rd September
4pm - 6pm
Ceilidh's have been a big hit at the last few Little but LIVE! We are delighted to have the fabulous Siobhan Thornton calling an afternoon Ceilidh suitable for all experience levels.
Get ready to kick up your heels and dance the afternoon away at The Moseley Hive. With group dances to traditional folk music join us for a fun-filled afternoon of dancing, live music, and good vibes.
Whether you're a seasoned Ceilidh dancer or a complete newbie*, everyone is welcome to join in on the fun. So grab your friends and family, put on your dancing shoes, and come on down to the Moseley Hive for a night you won't forget.
If you have never attended a Ceilidh before, please know there is a "caller" who will talk the group through all the moves, make it simple and easy for anyone to join in.
Tickets from £5
7pm - 10pm
Little but LIVE!'s very own Folk-ish open mic night returns for a festival special.
Live at the Hive is now a regular part of Moseley's monthly calendar, welcoming in local artists to share their songs and tunes with a friendly and warm audience.
Over the last two year's we've developed a reputation for being an inclusive open mic, with a high standard of musicians, great sound quality and genuinely lovely vibe.
Doors open from 7pm, free to attend, donations welcomed.
No need to book tickets in advance.
Previous Festivals
Little but LIVE! was our hopeful response to the outbreak of COVID-19. In September 2020 we organised the first Little but LIVE! in Moseley Park - a small socially distanced outdoor festival. This featured a varied programme of events across one weekend, including Indian Dhol drumming, stand-up comedy, reggae, folk, and our own production of Romeo and Juliet.
We partnered with Sebastian Hicks, from Coventry University, who provided us with the beautiful Chapel of Many, a unique performance space made up of folding chairs. We were also gratefully supported by Moseley Together, a local community fund to support the recovery from COVID-19.
After the success of the first festival we returned in 2021, a little bit bigger and a little but better with a range from fantastic acts from BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2018, Xhosa Cole, to our own charming adaptation of The Wind in the Willows to a range of workshops targeted a families and young people.
In 2022 we were delighted to receive Arts Council funding for the first time to allow us to produce a new version of The Comedy of Errors and to provide a range of free workshops for families and adults!
