Slip Martin
Self penned as a ‘a solid attempt at pop’ created in Leeds but this doesn’t do Slip Martin the justice deserved.
Since starting to release music in September 2023, singer-songwriter 'Slip Martin' has gained radio play on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio Leeds and Sheffield. His music is thoroughly thought-out and will sit comfortably with fans of Indie-pop. 'A perfect track' - Emily Pillbeam (BBC 6 Music) '

Rye
Rye is a Lithuanian-born, Newcastle-based singer-songwriter. Growing up in Vilnius, Lithuania, where she was surrounded by experimental rock, underground electronic music, and the evocative tradition of sung poetry, she developed a unique style. Her love for languages shines through in her music, as she sings in English, Lithuanian, and Spanish, often blending spoken word into her compositions.
Rye's music explores the complexities of human nature, focusing on themes like ambivalence, limitations, and the challenges we face in dark times.
With unflinching honesty in her lyrics, Rye aims to highlight the deep connection between strength and vulnerability. "I like to write about things that I might be scared to talk about. It’s important for me to be honest about my own ambivalent or uncomfortable feelings with my listeners, in the hope that it encourages them to do the same," she explains. Her haunting, delicate vocals, and powerful melodies reflect this approach, making her music both introspective and relatable.

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.
