2022's Beautiful Octopus Club was a vibrant night of music, art and performance from a unique perspective. Sets were played to packed dance floors and spaces were filled with creativity, connection - and some incredible dance moves!

Throughout the night, original and emerging artists also took to the new Loud and Proud stage, created in memory of Heart n Soul artist Lizzie Emeh, whose journey as an artist began at an open mic slot at the BOC. We want to ensure the spirit of the Loud and Proud stage lives on beyond the Beautiful Octopus Club. With your support, we can embed the ethos of Loud and Proud across our programmes; ensuring that emerging artists are able to access the support, mentoring and opportunities they need to thrive.
