BiG i AM Promotions and Management BiGiAM is a PR, marketing, promotion and management company for Brighton and beyond.

We are a small, well formed promotions company, specialising in music and the arts. Our portfolio is relatively wide and relatively varied but, in the last couple of years, we're a playing a significant role in the development, project management and the marketing/promotions of a number of Brighton and area based events.

days at Glynde Place 2011
- Brighton Music Awards - prestigious sold out awards event at the Brighton Centre, featuring Jimmy Page,Roger Daltrey and more.

It seeks to further establish Brighton as a cultural centre for the fashion industry. Other clients include partnerships with, amongst others, one of Europe's finest and best regarded recording studios, a word-wide boutique guitar maker (with links to the V&A, world renown designers and more), multi media organisations (IPTV, independent radio stations) as well as artist management and development - indeed, we've overseen the development of our main artist from open mic to main stage festival performer, now involved with grammy winning producers and world class musicians. Not everything we do is necessarily as glamourous and high profile, but we'd like to think our connections, reputation, experience and hard work are invariably beneficial to whatever project or commission we turn our hand to. So, if you think we can help; please approach us for a no obligation chat; we may well be less expensive than you might think. Our passion is to provide unrivalled value and excellence in everything we do. BiGiAM are, in essence, four experienced associates who have, between them, served as a Communications Director for a multi national, multi billion industry, founded the original Brighton fringe festival, been main programmers for sizable and prestigious venues, promoted literally thousands of shows, worked with hundreds of major labels and major label artists, managers, agents and promoters, sourced very many thousands of pounds in funding and sponsorship, contributed (and continue to contribute) to many of Brighton's main music media (written and broadcast) and much, much, more besides.

Wildly inventive electro-acoustic psych-pop...

Melting Vinyl presents Pictish Trail + special guests at ALPHABET Brighton Friday 8th May.

"A favourite artist of ours, I’m always excited to hear what Pictish Trail is doing next. This is beautiful,” – Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music.

Pictish Trail AKA Johnny Lynch, has just completed work on a brand-new album ‘Life Slime’, a sticky, shimmering swirl of sound and oooze (both metaphorical and literal). To celebrate, he returns to the stage in 2026 accompanied by his full live band. These shows bring the new songs to life in bold, expansive form – rhythmic, euphoric and immersive, balancing motorik pulse with warped pop melody and raw emotional release. Expect tenderness, weirdness, and a generous dollop of goo.

Based on the Isle of Eigg in the Scottish Hebrides, Pictish Trail is known for his wildly inventive electro-acoustic psych-pop. His 2022 album Island Family, his third for London’s Fire Records, drew acclaim from The Observer, The Times, Mojo, Uncut, Loud & Quiet, and BBC 6 Music. It was followed in autumn 2024 by Follow Footsteps, an EP of reworked Island Family tracks released via his own Lost Map Records, in conjunction with Fire. Recasting the euphoric-bucolic psychedelia of ‘Island Family’, ‘Melody Something’ and ‘Nuclear Sunflower Swamp’ through a softer filter – and complemented by a pair of incidental instrumentals – Lynch discovered delicately kaleidoscopic new resonance in the material.

Pictish Trail has toured the world as both headliner and support for the likes of Belle & Sebastian, Pavement, Mogwai, Sea Power, and KT Tunstall. He’s performed at major festivals including Glastonbury (Park Stage), Field Day, Camp Bestival, Deer Shed, Celtic Connections, Blue Dot, the Edinburgh Fringe, and every single edition of Green Man Festival (22 and counting).

Hannah James and Toby Kuhn are a dazzling combination...

Hannah is an award-winning accordionist, dancer, songwriter and singer, renowned for her work with The Jigdoll Ensemble, Lady Maisery, Seasick Steve, Maddy Prior, Eliza Carthy, Karine Polwart etc. Toby is a globetrotting French cellist whose post-classical, inventive playing combines beautifully with Hannah to create a charismatic, playful chemistry.

In a journey through sound, texture, emotion and rhythm, Hannah and Toby navigate the paths of growth, discovery, darkness and light, exploring the dialog of cello, voice, accordion and foot percussion in new and unexpected ways. Effortlessly blending, the pair play and dance through a series thoughtful tunes, soulful songs and joyful set-pieces in which Hannah’s vocal mastery is underpinned by Toby’s unorthodox delivery, weaving intricate layers of harmony and melody together to the beat and swish of percussive dance. Ever curious, always exploring their connection to the worlds around them, this duo offers an entirely novel, delicate, grounded and powerful performance.

Kathryn Williams is one of the UK’s most-cherished modern-day songwriters. She returns with a stunning new record.

Kathryn Williams with special guest and support Matt Deighton play The Prince Albert on Wednesday 25th February.

Kathryn Williams is a British, Mercury music prize-nominated singer-songwriter. With 17 albums under her belt in the last 27 years, her last solo album, Night Drives debuted at no.2 in the official folk album charts, while her last album, a collaboration with Withered Hand titled Willson Williams was nominated for the SAY and AMA awards.

Label One Little Independent celebrated her career (thus far) with a 20-CD and 2-book box set, Anthology, strewn with her artwork.

Her novel The Ormering Tide debuted to critical acclaim, and she also hosts her own popular podcast, Before the Light Goes Out, which appeared in the Top Ten best music podcasts by the Guardian. Kathryn tutors at the Arvon and Moniack Mhor Foundations, and writes with many diverse artists around the world including Paul Weller, Chris Difford, Ed Harcourt, Beth Nielsen Chapman, and Michele Stodart. She is the only female included in the Top Ten list of Greatest Liverpool songwriters of all time.

"Tender, tranquil and emotionally tumultuous... Williams' work has never strayed from being utterly, unflappably beautiful" NARC Mag
"Another album that oozes quality... It hits you right there, her beautiful voice transporting you to another place" The Crack

This tour will showcase her current album, Mystery Park, alongside the brilliant guitarist and singer-songwriter Matt Deighton, who is known as British folk’s most enigmatic lost son, former Mother Earth frontman and guitarist for Bill Fay, Oasis and Paul Weller.

Kathryn Williams + Matt Deighton at The Prince Albert, Brighton

03/11/2025

Spellbinding music rooted in folklore and drawing comparisons with PJ Harvey - Dominie Hooper + guests play The Rosehill on Thursday 22nd January.

Dominie Hooper is a London-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist crafting spellbinding music rooted in folklore, ritual, and emotional transformation. Her songs simmer with raw intensity and lyrical barbs, blending growling cello, textured guitar, and collective vocals into something dark, unsettling, and beautiful.

Her debut single for Lost Map Records, Land, produced by Ben Hillier (Depeche Mode, Nadine Shah), is a powerful meditation on healing and self-reclamation. Written while reflecting on her upbringing in the wilds of Dartmoor, the track conjures a landscape of isolation, memory, and grounded magic. “It’s about choosing the path of healing, again and again,” Dominie explains.

“Magic, folklore and myth offer archetypes through which we can flip our own script.”

Dominie’s sound draws comparisons to the brooding drama of PJ Harvey and John Parish, the raw emotional weight of Magnolia Electric Co., and the timeless power of Richard & Linda Thompson.

Her commanding voice and blistering live band have already earned her support slots with This Is The Kit, multiple UK headline tours, and appearances at festivals including Shambala, Deer Shed, and Moseley Folk.

With early support from BBC 6Music, BBC Introducing, Radio 2, and RTÉ 2, plus backing from Help Musicians and PRSF, Dominie is poised for a breakout year. Her upcoming debut album, In This Body Lives, due for release on Hallowe’en 2025, promises to deepen the spell.

As Under the Radar Magazine put it, “The breadth of her talent is immediately apparent.”

“Endlessly engaging and thrilling” – Guy Garvey, BBC 6Music
“Absolutely beautiful” – Shaun Keaveny
“Spine-tingling” – Roddy Hart, BBC Radio Scotland
“Amazing, amazing track” – BBC Introducing

'So Long It's Been Good to Know You' ~ an Americana songbook, retirement show 🧡

Showcasing his in-depth Americana songbook, award-winning songwriter Rod Picott brings his compelling live show, gritty delivery and keenly observed songs to the UK for one last time; his 'So Long It's Been Good to Know You' retirement tour at The Greys, Brighton on Monday 3rd November.

The thrum of insects on a hot August night. A saw blade biting kiln-dried hemlock. The lonesome highway whine of long-haul trucks. A crude swallow of cheap whiskey that tears at your throat. Tears of loss and the easy laughter of old friends. This is the sound of Rod Picott's world.

Over twenty-four years, twelve albums, three published books and a few thousand shows... through luck and white-knuckled determination Picott has been fortunate to open a tour for Alison Krauss and Union Station, play the Shrewsbury Folk festival, BBC Radio 2 Bob Harris sessions, Maverick Festival and receive the 'Song of the Year' award for his co-write (with Slaid Cleaves) 'Broke Down' at the Austin Music Awards.

Picott has had songs placed in television and film projects including; The FX series Justified and the Michael Douglas film Solitary Man. His song 'Circus Girl' was featured in the PBS documentary Circus. BBC News aired his co-write 'Rust Belt Fields' in a news feature.

The set for this show will feature songs and stories from Picott's quarter-century on the road.

15/10/2025

Matt Berninger is the vocalist and lyricist for Grammy Award-winning band The National, andn he plays an Intimate Trio Performance + special guests at Concorde 2, Brighton on Tuesday 9th December.

His songwriting has long garnered praise for its poignant clarity, jagged-edged wit and intimately emotive melodies. The band’s career spans ten studio albums, including First Two Pages of Frankenstein and Laugh Track, both issued in 2023. Late 2024 saw the release of The National’s first proper live album, Rome.

Together with his wife Carin Besser, Berninger produced the band’s 2013 feature-length documentary Mistaken for Strangers, directed by Matt’s brother Tom. Outside of The National, Berninger formed EL VY with Brent Knopf (Menomena) in 2014. The duo released their debut album Return to the Moon the following year. Berninger’s “gorgeous” (Rolling Stone) solo debut, Serpentine Prison, came out in 2020, produced by the legendary Booker T. Jones. His second solo effort, Get Sunk, was released in May 2025.

‘Matt Berninger’s brooding, droning baritone is difficult to separate from The National. His second solo album, “Get Sunk,” doesn’t diverge much from the alt-rock band he’s fronted for more than a quarter-century. And why should it?’ AP

Melting Vinyl presents:
