The Stone Beach story...
Stone Beach was founded in 2018 by Block 33 lead singer, Dan Dodson. After first forming as a clothing line and hosting a launch party at Camden's famous Dublin Castle featuring Death of Guitar Pop, it quickly became apparent that Stone Beach will far better serve the mod community as an events company that also sells a pretty tidy bit of clobber...
In 2023 Stone Beach has some fantastic events in the pipeline featuring some your favourite bands alongside some relatively unknown gems.
Stone Beach is committed to working with smaller artists alongside established ones to contribute towards a scene that if nurtured, can last for many decades to come!

With a wealth of experience in working with renowned global companies on marketing and branding, as well as in the DIY music market, our agile team brings a unique perspective to the table. Dan's band, Block 33, has achieved remarkable milestones in the last five years. From cultivating a small local following in Hertford, they went on to raise over £40,000 through three successful crowdfunding campaigns for album releases. Furthermore, they sold out an eight-date debut headline UK tour and are currently on track for a UK top 40 hit with their new album, which is currently being crowdfunded. Dan's expertise extends beyond the music realm as he also applied our digital marketing techniques to grow a local flooring company from scratch to an impressive £306,000 in gross revenue within just 18 months.
Laura's band, AKA The Syndicate, self-released their first album using the marketing methods we teach, which resulted in the growth of a dedicated and sizable fan base spread across the globe. Currently, they are crowdfunding their second album and have already secured £5,000 in funding. Alongside, they have secured notable support slots alongside Bad Manners. With her previous band Laura has played several high-profile gigs including supporting Madness and The Beat. Additionally, Laura has 15 year’s experience working in the best advertising agencies in the world and managed global marketing campaigns for esteemed brands such as Vodafone, Dominos and the FA to name a few.
