WHAT A DAY! Slow Century Summer Jam 2026
Well… what can we say?
On Saturday 29th August we held our very first Slow Century Summer Jam and, despite the British weather doing its very best to join the line-up, you came anyway and you came in force!
The rain certainly didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. From the moment things got underway, Knowle was buzzing with music, friends, familiar faces and plenty of new ones too.
The bands and artists were absolutely incredible, the atmosphere was brilliant all day and our 3 for £10 vinyl boxes were a roaring success - we’re not entirely sure there was much left by the end!
Most importantly, thanks to everyone’s generosity, we also raised an amazing amount for our two chosen charities. We’re incredibly grateful to every single person who bought raffle tickets, bid and supported the fundraising throughout the day.
Summer Jam was never just about Slow Century Records.
Our brilliant friends at Café Viola and The Ale Rooms had fantastic days too, and seeing people moving around Knowle, supporting local businesses, listening to live music and simply enjoying themselves was exactly what we hoped Summer Jam would be about.
A huge thank you has to go to every musician, DJ, business and person who helped make the day happen and, of course, to every one of you who turned up, embraced the rain and supported us.
When we opened Slow Century Records last November, we could never have imagined quite how much support we would receive or how many brilliant people we would meet along the way.
Yesterday was one of those days that reminded us exactly why we did it.
Music. Friends. Local businesses. Community.
That was Summer Jam.
And judging by the number of you who asked us…
“When’s the next one?”
All we’re saying for now is…
Keep your eyes peeled. 👀🐌🎶
Thank you, Knowle.
You were incredible.
