Hello all! Theo here with a big announcement as I bring you the 31st episode of ‘things i’ve been up to’! I am very sorry to announce that ‘things i’ve been up to’ will be finishing at the end of this year making this the penultimate episode. November and December are your last opportunities to enjoy the fruits of the beautiful scene that has grown around this space.
‘things i’ve been up to’ (https://www.instagram.com/things.ive.been.up.to/ ) is a monthly, community-based event taking place on the first Monday of every month in the intimate Snug space at Hyde Park Book Club. It is an opportunity for songwriters, poets and musicians to share and experiment with new material in a safe and supportive space.

Headlining this episode of ‘things i’ve been up to’ will be tinyumbrellas.
tinyumbrellas, also known as DT, has been developing their unique brand of folky daydream indie pop for a few years. Beginning as a lockdown pastime on a bedroom floor in Norfolk with a guitar, ukulele and GarageBand, tinyumbrellas has since developed into a fully-fledged artist project, with their recent EP ‘Somewhere to Fall Asleep’ gaining support from Radio 1 in summer 2023, and playing Glastonbury on the BBC Introducing Stage in 2022. Inspired by the likes of Big Thief, Billie Marten and Elliott Smith, tinyumbrellas’ music caresses the heartstrings with a profound ode to all forms of love - platonic, romantic, or simply an admiration for life’s poignant beauty.

After the headline performance, I'll give you all a chance to grab another drink and some fresh city air. Then I will open up the rest of the evening for all the artists who want to share what you've 'been up to'. Come see me (Theo) on the door if you want to perform and I'll put your name down on the list. It is a first come first served vibe so get down early if you don't want to miss out on the chance of playing. The list is usually full by 8pm!
I want to give a big shoutout to the amazing Hugh Roberts (@misc.etc) for creating another incredible poster and furthering the visual concepts for 'things i've been up to'.

This event operates on a PAY AS YOU FEEL basis! While all are welcome regardless of financial contribution, to ensure the sustainability of this non-profit, community-based event and to fairly compensate tinyumbrellas and Hugh for their invaluable artistic contributions, I recommend a contribution of £5. Your support enables me to continue providing opportunities for everyone to participate in and attend these events. Analog money is preferred, but I will also have a card reader on hand!
See you on November 4th x
