💭 " I run events myself, and I would like to think of them as being quite accessible. But actually, after being here today, I realised how much work I've still got to do. I'm really looking forward to having further conversations with the people I have met here to think about how I can make my events more accessible and inclusive for Disabled artists".

Our fourth performance of the Drake Music Artist Showcase, coming courtesy of... 🎱 Ant Lightfoot (he/they) 🎱 A neuroqueer artist based in Bristol, and a polymath at heart, it’s difficult to narrow Ant down to one genre. He tiptoes across forms, incorporating rhymes, comedy and philosophy into his solo hip-hop and rhyme-based work, as well as making guttural noises and screaming for metal. Ant’s work is wobbly, messy, experimental, alternative, risky, funny, endearing, silly, philosophical, witty, riddled with failure, loudly imperfect, loudly loud, and unapologetically authentic. Ant believes strongly in making work that is loudly imperfect, embraces failure, and is heavily invested in the liveness between performer and audience. Join @mrheavyhand, @manukai_life, @kindredprisms, @vvnsings & @stott.ie at the beautiful @lsostlukes... 🔗 Tickets via link in bio! 🕒 5.45pm to 9pm 📅 Saturday 24 October 2026 📍 LSO St Luke’s, 161 Old Street, London, EC1V 9NG 📽️ Or join us from home via live stream.
