What do Buds & Spawn have in store for you on this particular chilly winter evening? Something special (and, who knows, maybe even a bit festive) to warm the cockles with our favourite raconteur troubadour alongside the finest wonky music selector out there.Stephen EvEns is a singular songwriter who makes charming, characterful albums that tap into the twisted toy town spirit of Syd Barrett, the Kinks, Kevin Ayers and Cardiacs, while evoking a world entirely of his own making.
Stephen Gilchrist is a drummer, producer and engineer who founded and runs Brixton Hill Studios and has toured the world with truculent Brit pop stars, disco sensations, ageing punks and countless others. Many of you may recognise him as the magician who can somehow keep time through the final segment of ‘Vine’ when he’s behind the kit with Tim Smith’s Spratleys.
They are, of course, the same person.
Stephen EvEns third album ‘Here Come The Lights’ was released on Onomatopoeia earlier this year, and has been described as ‘a wonk fest glittered with a dirty glam sound’ (LTW) and ‘new wave poetics, dry, surreal and amusing’ (The Arts Desk). We are super excited to welcome him back to the Buds & Spawn stage, we just hope he doesn’t bring the rain with him this time… (google ‘Sheffield floods 2019’, LOL!)
As if that weren’t enough, we are beside ourselves with joy to have the incomparable Marina Organ, of the legendary Organ fanzine and host of the Other Rock Show. Marina’s knowledge of music with 'other' time signatures and adventurous song structures is nothing less than encyclopaedic, we are not worthy!!

Friday 6th December 2024, 8:00pm at The Dorothy Pax, Arch 17, Victoria Quays, Sheffield S2 5SY
This is a free entry gig, but please bring some cash for the bucket in order to show your appreciation for our artists.
Under 18s are welcome until 9pm and must be accompanied by an adult.
Accessibility: The Dorothy Pax is a canalside bar which is reached by a 5 min walk from the nearest road (Furnival Rd), or a very short walk from the multistorey car park (disabled bays available) that has a pedestrian exit directly on to the quays. The pavement surface around Victoria Quays is cobbled and uneven. Inside, the bar has a small mezzanine / balcony area at ground level, with 10 steps down to reach the bar and the toilets (two large gender neutral cubicles). Please get in touch on [email protected] if you have access needs of any sort and would like to attend, we will do our best to provide the support that you need to enjoy the show.
