Little South is where the artists come to play - created with the goal of supporting and promoting local DJs and Producers in West Cornwall, UK, who specialize in various genres of dance music. The enthusiastic response from the Cornish nightlife community was overwhelming, allowing Little South to become a crucial platform for local artists seeking exposure at events. As time went on, our reach expanded beyond Cornwall and encompassed artists and events from across the entire South West of England, UK. One of our defining features has been the opportunity to showcase DJ mixes through our podcast series. Since our establishment, we have actively published podcast mixes from some of the most talented DJs in the South West. These mixes serve as a testament to the exceptional skills and creativity of our region's DJs, providing a platform for them to showcase their talent to a wider audience.

At Little South, we have a strong commitment to nurturing nightlife and live music events. A crucial aspect of our work is event promotion, which we prioritize and strive to excel at. Our dedicated team actively seeks out localized, independent music events to showcase and promote. Additionally, we proudly provide a platform for major events happening throughout the South West region, including specialist music festivals and large capacity live music events. By actively supporting and promoting these events, we aim to contribute to a thriving music scene and ensure that both local artists and established acts receive the recognition they deserve.

The Little South pages serve as a platform for emerging musical talent in the South West of England. Our goal is to encourage, foster relationships, and provide opportunities for new artists to showcase their sounds and events. We support DJs, Producers, and Vocalists of all genres within the electronic music landscape. If you are interested in being featured on our pages, we warmly welcome your expressions of interest.

North Cornwall Music Festival, Porthilly Spirit Gets Cancelled

Lack of a license led organisers to pull the plug on this year's event.

A brand new music festival with a major line up including Tom Odell and Gilles Peterson has not been able to secure a license to go ahead this year. The news of the Porthilly Spirit festival cancellation will come as a massive blow to those who have already purchased tickets and made plans to attend.

From the organiser's social media page

We are very shocked and sad to share the news that we have not been granted the license to put the festival on. Despite months of work with the local authorities (including approval from every single statutory authority) the license was denied last night.

However, we aren’t giving up and are exploring options for the event to go ahead, perhaps with some small changes. We will reach a final decision on Monday 13th May.

In the event of the festival being cancelled, our ticket platform, Ticket Sellers, will be in touch with every ticket purchaser within 24 hours to confirm bank details. On making contact, they will process the refund immediately and it will take 5-7 days to arrive. Ticket Sellers policy is to refund the face value of the ticket but we, the festival, will refund the booking fee so no one is out of pocket.

If you have any questions please get in touch hello@porthillyspirit.com.

We are passionate and committed to bringing you the very best weekend and thank you for your support and patience.
