LIVE AT THE BEDFORD PRESENTS: GIVE & GIG

 

We are pleased to announce that GIVE & GIG is back for a THIRD time at The Bedford, Balham!

At its conception, we set out to create an event that gives upcoming musicians the exposure they deserve, raises money for Cancer Research UK, and offers a night to remember for our friends and family. Now, in its third iteration, while it remains true to those roots, GIVE & GIG has evolved into something even greater – a growing community that brings people together through the power of live music, generosity, and shared experiences.

This year, we bring to you four acts that will take the stage and bring their unique sounds to life. Expect an unforgettable night filled with incredible music, great energy, and plenty of moments to remember.

A massive thank you goes to you – our audience, our families and friends – for your unwavering support. You are the reason we can bring events like this to life and raise money for a cause so close to so many of our hearts. We also want to give a huge thank you to the incredible team at The Bedford. Their generosity in offering us their coliseum of a space, along with their enthusiasm and hospitality, has made this event possible for the third time. And finally, thank you to the artists, past and present, for putting on an action-packed evening of entertainment.

For any newcomers, welcome. 100% of your ticket proceeds will go straight into funding vital cancer research here in the UK, to help save lives and beat cancer sooner. If you’re unable to attend GIVE & GIG this year, but would still like to donate, please click here.

As always, this event is in memory of our Dad, Mark Elliott, and all those loved and lost.
