Events

For the last few years we have been holding monthly exhibitions in our funky new downstairs cafe. Our general philosophy as a music company is to operate as an all genre-embracing facility to manage, represent and showcase super hot talent. In keeping with this, the line-up at MAP events is usually fabulously diverse. For example, we recently hosted an evening, which included performances from 'no no no' reggae queen Dawn Penn and folk-rock legend Tymon Dogg (formerly of the Clash and The Mesceleros).  We have also held nights with Omar, Jimmy Screech, Roots Manuva and more. We believe a cocktail of musical styles makes the event that bit more memorable. We also hold events all over the UK and Europe, watch this space for more information:  

If you'd like to play at MAP or exhibit your artwork please email us or contact Tom on 0207 916 0544
