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.

Summer Masked Ball Gets Cancelled

Event organisers have withdrawn their application after they faced objections from neighbours.

The organisers of the Masked Ball had been eagerly scouting for an ideal location near Truro to host the upcoming summer edition of their highly anticipated events. Unfortunately, their initial choice of a site in Playing Place, on the outskirts of Truro in Cornwall, has been met with numerous objections at event licensing meetings, leading to the decision to no longer consider it. With time ticking away, the team behind the Masked Ball has expressed that there is insufficient time to explore alternative venues for this year's Summer Masked Ball. It is important to note, however, that this change of plans has no impact on the beloved Halloween Masked Ball, traditionally held at Flambards theme park in Helston every October.

An event organiser is reported to have said: ""We are withdrawing from this application in light of the many objections from residents on the estate. We feel that whilst we have attempted to reach an agreement with the residents to mitigate their concerns with reasonable conditions, we have been unable to reach a resolution that would allow this type of event to deliver to the expectations of the attendees. In light of this we wish to withdraw the application and we will look forward to working with the estate owners and residents to find a suitable time and type of event that will operate successfully at the venue in the future."

In a detailed letter addressed to the council's licensing department, several concerned residents who are members of the local community group expressed their growing apprehensions regarding the potential issue of ball-goers being near their properties, highlighting the urgent need for effective measures to address this problem.
