Cherry Seraph
Cherry Seraph, real name Sophie Russell, is one of the true rising stars of the UK music scene. Described by Clout as “one of the best-kept secrets in UK alternative pop”, with songs having already been featured on BBC Introducing, Cherry has cemented herself as one of the most talented acts in Yorkshire. As a proud queer artist, she often draws upon her own sapphic experiences within her work and aims to continue being a source of empowerment to others who are underrepresented within the music industry. Based in Leeds, Cherry Seraph’s career is continually evolving, from recording in Paris to performing across the North of England. The last two years have marked a big step for the artist, having been chosen as one of Launchpad’s 2023 Future Leaders, as well as being chosen for support by YouthMusic’s Next Generation funding grant. This industry backing so early on for Cherry Seraph demonstrates the immense talent on display and is a sure sign of things to come.

Berne
Earth-pop duo and EU Climate Pact Ambassador for Malta, Berne, will be celebrating the release of their brand new album 789 live on tour.
In 789, which represents the number of extinct species in the last 400 years, Berne share a creative expression of how we as humans interact with the planet, animals, and each other. All tracks are co-written with The Earth via EarthPercent, raising funds by diverting a portion of royalties to environmental organizations.
“Keen listeners will rejoice in the limitless and spacious sound design, featuring gloomy textures and melancholic guitar tones, together with minimalistic electronica. The result is a highly detailed and sonically rich record, balanced between alt-pop and trip-hop, yet carrying an overwhelming aura of mystery and eclecticism.” - Mesmerized

More about FRESH Thursdays...
FRESH happens every Thursday during our open seasons. It is a platform to bring you fresh new music served up alongside a homecooked plant based meal, board games and candles. It can be hard to get people out to hear music that they don’t know yet & this is why we decided to offer dinner as an incentive to try something new, these gigs are cosy, communal nights and often you get to hear completely new music for the very first time. The music varies across multiple genres but it is usually fairly gentle listening type music & well suited to a relaxed Thursday night. The gigs are seated and during the sets the audience is very music focused & quiet with time to chat in between the sets and at the end when we keep the bar open.
We cook the food from scratch usually and dinner is well suited to lover of vegetables and wholesome cooking, it's usually something like a dhal, veggie chilli, tacos, roast veg or similar, our base line is vegan sometimes with veggie options. We can cater for nut/gluten free meals, but nuts & gluten are used in the kitchen so if you have serious allergies please bear that in mind.
Doors at 7pm, we aim to get dinner ready by 8pm and will bring it to you when its ready… music usually starts around 8pm, sometimes later if it’s a busy night for food (we are a tiny team) and we aim to have the music finished by 10-10.15 pm. We can only guarantee dinner with advance tickets and these days we cap dinner at 60 meals and the food tickets do often sell out.
We hope/think it's obvious that quality music and dinner for £10 is all about culture & community and that these events cost us money… If you can afford to purchase a higher level ‘Cobalt supporters‘ ticket we appreciate the additional help towards costs very much.
