Society of the Golden Slippers
Society of the Golden Slippers is dedicated to the discovery and celebration of musical talent.
Founded in April 2010 by Jen Roberts, the Society hosts exclusive events for industry and music lovers every third Monday of the month at London’s Dickensian Blacks Private Members Club, and every third Tuesday of the month at Morton’s Club in Mayfair.
Named after the cockney rhyming slang for 'tippers' - a word used in the music industry to represent 'about to break' artists - as well as the ‘hit’ music hall classic 'oh dem golden slippers', Golden Slippers is devoted to the celebration and nurturing of musical talent.
The specially invited audience regularly includes music industry leaders, critics, tastemakers and bloggers. All events are free but strictly by guest list only.
Guests can enjoy a showcase of major talents ('tippers') that have in the past included The Civil Wars, Lisa Marie Presley, Jake Bugg, Laura Mvula, Ed Harcourt, Lucy Rose, Dry The River, Jens Lekman, Kristina Train and many more.
Golden Slippers has also previously hosted private showcases for Columbia, RCA, and Secretly Canadian, as well as exclusive events at the Club at The Ivy.
New members are welcome and guest list requests should be emailed to Jen Roberts (Jen@golden-slippers.com). Please include a brief introduction in your email. (More details on our guest list policy below.)
Because of the limited capacity of the venues, guests are forewarned to arrive early.
SERVICES
Society of the Golden Slippers also offers a bespoke service for labels and management companies looking to present their artists in exclusive London locations.
We work with several private members clubs and historic venues, including the Freud Museum, and the Elgar Rooms at the Royal Albert Hall, to provide a stunning location for your showcase.
We also offer live recording and events planning for private clients.
Please email jen@golden-slippers.com to discuss your requirements.

**THE GUEST LIST**
Our guest list is free but very limited. Priority remains with society regulars, club members and music/media professionals. Requests should be emailed to the address below. If you are unknown to us, please include a brief introduction in your email. Requests for the guest list always far outstrips capacity, so please do not be offended if we can't squeeze you in. Requests via text message or Facebook are not accepted.
It is also worth knowing that artists have their own very limited guest lists for the events, so you might want to try their management team as an alternative option.
