R&B Mania Festival

R&B Mania Festival comes to Quarters on Saturday 21 November, running from 15:00 to 21:00. It's a day dedicated to R&B, built around the 90s slow jams and 00s classics that the organisers say inspired them.

For the people behind it, R&B is more of a movement than just a genre. They describe the project as a celebration of the songs that shaped their audience, and they've built it around the 90s slow jams and 00s classics that first got them into the music. It's a broad enough stretch to cover two decades of the sound, from the smoother, slower side of the 90s through to the bigger 00s records.

That's the same thread they pull across all their events. R&B Mania stages gatherings that range from intimate soul sessions to sold-out venues and major city takeovers across the UK, and they describe them as a space for R&B lovers free of gimmicks. This Brighton date is one of those, with the focus staying on the music rather than anything added around it.

It runs on Saturday afternoon and evening, 15:00 to 21:00, at Quarters, 187-193 Kings Road, BN1 1NB.
