Hello and Happy New Year (that’s the last time we are allowed to say HNY), So has everyone finished their January detox?

Ready for some Brighton Glug action? Good, then we shall begin…

There will also be a competition to win a mixed case of Barefoot.  You will have to be there on the night, complete an entry card and a draw will be made at 9pm.

Yup, that’s right the first batch from the Xmas Glug are out of the sweaty edit suite. Thanks to Blind Aura for the shoot & edit, they’ve done a tremendous job again for us. Here’s Mr. Bingo to get you started. More after the jump.

Happy new year to you all. We’ve got plenty of stuff in the pipeline for 2012.

We’re taking a month or so off to plan the year’s Glug calendar, we should have the videos from the Xmas bash up online this week.

In the meantime can we please direct your attention to an event our good pals at Creative Social are putting on…

“Our next Creative Social Presents coming up on the 8th February at LBi . Definitely worth coming along to listen to some stuff thats making our Socials pretty damn hot! – all details here.”

Adam Jenns from Mainframe

Jason Bruges

Jon Humphreys from The Neighbourhood 

Mr Bingo

to all that came to laugh, drink, jeer, dance, chat and see our great speakers, painters, dj’s and other magical virtuosos at Glug last week @ Fabric. The night was a great success, we managed to raise £3564 for Shelter, so pat yourselves on the back.

Here’s the full lineup again for you and we’ll have the talks up soon enough.

Thanks to Source for the competition and continual support, go see them here if you fancy a new role for 2012.

Join us on Facebook, meetup and see the photos here.

Gluggers – and Ed the winner of the Airside book.

Where’s Sanky?

Please note:

We’re aware there’s been some comments on the meetup about people not being happy that the talks aspect of the events have sometimes been oversubscribed so in the new year we’re going to try and resolve this by playing around with the format a bit.

One thing we did want to say was that Glug was always meant to be more than just a talks event and we’re very keen for this not to change. We want to make sure it retains it’s social, relaxed ‘notworking’ ethos.

So in the new year we’re going to sell two types of tickets for each event 250/300 seated full access ‘talks’ tickets per event at a higher price and then ‘notworking’ tickets which will be at a much reduced price allowing you to attend the events but just hang out in both the bar and outside terrace areas.

We’re also going to focus on increasing the amount of non-talks activity, so every month there will be live art and illustration, installations, portfolio reviews, music, stalls, crafts and various interactive things going on around the venue.

To do this there will be 2 meetups posted for each event, tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis.

But expect big things for 2012 from us. Also if you’d like to host a Glug event in your city/country, do get in touch and chat to us at glugevents [at] gmail.com. (Copy, paste and edit that in your email app).

Thanks for your continual support of Glug.

Have a lovely Christmas and we’ll be back in March 2012.
