About this Event

Sandra's Wedding and Tom Kay join forces for an intimate co-headline acoustic gig. Both acts will play an hour set.

Sandra's Wedding
Drawing comparisons with iconic northern guitar bands like The Housemartins and The Smiths, Sandra’s Wedding are a Goole-based band who wear their working class routes firmly on their sleeves.

With catchy songs full of bright, jangly guitars and clever lyrics about northern life, the band’s 2017 debut album Northern Powerhouse and 2018 follow-up EP Good Morning, Bad Blood were both met with rave reviews.

The group released their eagerly-awaited new album ‘Frame Yourself’ in Spring 2020 and had planned to take their new tracks out for a thrilling live show on the road. However, the pandemic intervened, so the boys instead recorded an impromptu album entirely in lockdown entitled Banana Breadwhich was a free to download release, followed by a limited pressing on vinyl.

The band released Pleasure Grounds just out of lockdown and have been enjoying gigging the new tracks, with the title track Pleasure Grounds being hand picked by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage for airplay on Guy Garvey's Finest Hour BBC 6 Music radio show.

Tom Kay

Tom Kay writes delicate, evocative songs laced with achingly beautiful melodies and honest lyricism. A self-confessed lover of sad songs, taking influence from artists such as City & Colour, Talk Talk, John Martyn and Counting Crows.

Over the last seven years he has released five studio albums as a solo artist. His debut album ‘From The Outside In’ reached #32 in the iTunes singer/songwriter charts and in 2017 he was invited by critically acclaimed American songwriter John Grant to perform at his North Atlantic Flux festival. He has also supported the likes of Scott Matthews and Gill Landry (Old Crow Medicine Show).

His latest album ‘Space Tourist’ was released in May 2023 and is arguably his strongest work to date, with the album taking on a more minimalist approach, full of subtleties, silence and beauty.
