A celebration of Sheffield club music.

We're happy to announce our first ever party here in Sheff - and even happier with this belter of a line-up!

Denham Audio (CLUB GLOW)

Originally conceived on Denham Road down Sharrow Vale way, the crew have since gone on to make quite a name for themselves. In collaboration with Borai, the 'Club Glow' series turned heads (especially that break-beat fire starter 'Make Me'!). Its been a year since their last Sheffield outing, and we're happy to bring them back as the headline act.

ASHLEY HOLMES (NTS)

A locally-based artist who has routinely impressed upon the city with the projects he's exhibited since graduating from the Sheffield Institute of Arts in 2013. Also known for his DJ sets, Ashley currently hosts a NTS show where he displays some of his sonic interests. It's in this role he will perform for us come March 20th.

HAMES & BAMBINO (GROUNDWORK // FLAW)

Both deeply involved in the new scenery emerging on Sheffield's cultural horizon - we've heard the chemistry between this kindly couple of DJ's behind the decks is something else!

Come As You Are policy - No bullshit, everybody welcome x

About the Course:   This two days training program is focused on Pre­commencement of Port business usually about 3 years in advance of intended start­up. Port business is a capital intensive and long term project with relatively high gestation period. A long period prior to commencement of the business, a lot of preparations on part of the promoters and investors and all related stake holders are essential. Objective of this program is to provide a clear perspective and development horizons of the Port Project to the decision makers and supporting personnel responsible for the Project.    Deliverables: At the end of this course, the participants will be able to: Identify elements of Maritime Infrastructure and estimate investment required. Understand National PPP policy for Maritime Infrastructure Development. Analyze Model Concession Agreement to make them more Investment friendly. Learn the elements of Detailed Project Report for a Port Project Prepare Hinterland Mapping for a Port Location Work out Business Volume Forecast for Port with logical assumptions Arrive at a basic financial model for Port Project Report   Methodology:   A combination of Class room Training, Interactive workshops, Individual and group case studies will be used. Participants will be provided with advance study / reading material on each topic covered under deliverables. Policy Related: Each participant will be encouraged to prepare and make a presentation in accordance with participant’s regional geo­economic conditions, national policies and local practices. Group studies will be done based on inputs from individual presentation and group findings will be presented during the interactive discussions. Group discussions will be duly moderated. These group discussions would enable the participants to arrive at comparative analysis of: Maritime Infrastructure, Investment options and PPP practices, Concession Agreements / investment friendly incentives in different parts of the globe. Project Investment and Appraisal Related: Participants will be provided with a blank structure of Detailed Project Report (DPR) for a Port. Thereafter, they will select a port location form their region and prepare natural hinterland which is targeted for generating cargo volume for the port. While preparing Hinterland Mapping, each participant will take into account outputs from Mineral, Agriculture, Manufactured goods and existing infrastructure linkages with the Port location. When possible, participants will also include planned linkages. The linkages cover Pipelines, rail and road network.  Based on Hinterland Mapping for each participant’s region, groups of participants will prepare business volume forecasts for the port project. Case study will be provided for a group exercise to prepare Financial Model for a Port project. In order to create real­life simulation, periodic variations in business volume / revenue may be introduced during the Financial modelling exercise. Structure: The course is structured in four sessions: Session1: This covers Port Development Perspective and Elements of Maritime Infrastructure. Level of port infrastructure and investment required in order to cater to the market requirement. It will also address the National PPP Policy for Port infrastructure development. Session 2: This session covers Concession Agreements for Port Development. In order to attract private investments for Port development, most of the maritime nations offer attractive terms under Concession Agreements for port development. Draft / model Concession Agreements from different regions will be analysed and discussed in the interactive session. Session 3: Assessment of market and estimation of business volume for the port is the fundamental and first step in the process of port development. This session covers methodology and structure of market assessment. It also covers mapping of port’s hinterland, identification of infrastructure linkages, competition analysis and preparing USP for the proposed port. Business Volume consists of traffic in metric tons and revenue which form the basis of further evaluation and preparation of Financial Model and Detailed Project Report. Session 4: This session addresses the subject of Financial Modelling. Based on the inputs from earlier sessions, basic financial model for the port project will be prepared by the participants themselves. This will be done by way of a group case study in which participants will be encouraged to make Business Volume estimation, detailed costs of the project, Income – Expenditure – Profit & Loss and arrive at Financial viability of the Port investment. Financial results of alternate investment options help the decision makers to arrive at optimum decisions in Green / Brown field Port Projects.       Endorsement for the executive workshop from past participants: “Excellent workshop – case study was related to real port developments & operations.

The Musical Box: A Genesis Extravaganza 2020 (Usher Hall, Edinburgh)

In 2018, in an all-out performance of live visual signature stunts, a museum-worthy array of vintage instruments and a dizzying pace of hit tracks and stage rarities, The Musical Box indulged in, for the first time in its 25 year existence, an intense trip of their own imagining... into the world of early Genesis. In 2019 they return, with Part II of A Genesis Extravaganza. As the only band ever licensed and supported by Genesis and Peter Gabriel, The Musical Box presents a new, never performed show featuring the music of Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by The Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering. With a few added surprises thrown in for good measure, it's a performance that any Genesis fan will not want to miss! Acclaimed for its historical re-enactment of early Genesis, TMB has performed for more than a million spectators worldwide in some of the most prestigious venues such as The London Royal Albert Hall and The Paris Olympia. TMB had the privilege of hosting Phil Collins and Steve Hackett as performing guests. In its quest for authenticity, TMB is often cited as the best interpretation group in the world and the international reference for early Genesis. "The Musical Box recreated, very accurately I must say, what Genesis was doing. I saw them in Bristol with my children so they could see what their father did back then" - Peter Gabriel "They're not a tribute band, they have taken a period and are faithfully reproducing it in the same way that someone would do a theatrical production" - Phil Collins "I cannot imagine that you could have a better tribute for any act. They not only manage to sound, but look virtualy identical. It seems as though nothing is too difficult for them" - Steve Hackett "It was better than the real thing actually. It was great, that was fantastic." - Mike Rutherford "The guy who does Peter Gabriel is brilliant" - Tony Banks ID may be required on entry as proof of purchase. Resales are strictly not permitted. The promoter reserves the right to void any tickets found on, or sold through any secondary resale sites.
