Line up:
2 - 4 OPEN MIC
Silent Garden (4 - 4.25)
Silent Garden is a project with songs made for healing emotions. Maria Jesus started this project in Australia in around 2012 and it's been playing in Chile, Australia, UK since then. Sounds from acoustic folk to electronic dance/trip hop.
Black Wendy (4.35 - 5.00)
Black Wendy are an alt rock punk and break neck funk band from Bristol. The lead singer adorns a wedding dress and balaclava during their blistering set, the bass player is a goat, the drummer is Keith Moon's vampire apparition and the guitarist, well, I don't know where to start there.
Belle Royals (5.10 - 5.35)
Belle Royals are a Newcastle/Bristol based noiserock/postpunk duo who have released three short EPs on Bandcamp label My Caribbean Holiday Recordings and have recently had a track featured on Safe Suburban Home Records' Winter 2021 cassette compilation to raise money for Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and are currently working on a debut album.
Barney Kenny (5.45 - 6.10)
Having supported the likes of Martin Carthy, Geoff Lakeman, Mad Dog McRea, Wille and the Bandits, Alden Patterson and Dashwood, Kitty Macfarlane and Blair Dunlop and after working alongside Peggy Seeger, Dougie Maclean and Martin Simpson in the past, Barney Kenny is armed with a 12 string guitar and a Lapsteel slide guitar. Barney Kenny music doesn't fall into the normal trappings of 'folk'. Heavily influenced by world music, blues and rock, Barney blends storytelling and acoustic music with his foot-stomping somewhat delta style. His writing crosses many boundaries throughout a live set, from Anglo-Celtic tunes to southern-blues rock to retellings of traditional songs from the transatlantic scene.. His slide playing is ever-exciting to watch whilst his more driving style of guitar playing is the perfect accompaniment to his lyrical narratives.
Desperate Measures (6.20 - 6.45)
High octane, Celtic, neo-trad tunesters with a punk edge and a Bristol attitude. Fast-paced fiddle, mandolin and banjo backed by rhythmic guitar, bouzouki and both Celtic and Latin percussion, we aim to have you dance yer socks off. Imagine a trad Irish pub session run by the Pogues.
Kololo (6.55 - 7.20)
Based in Bristol and birthed from that pandemic thing that happened, Kololo are pals Josh and Zeus (guitar and keys) and Danny (beats/percussion) blending vocal harmonies and trippy production to make a trio of computerised groove. Smooth Alternative Pop. Debut single ‘Bad Habit’ OUT NOW.
Kid Hyena (7.30 - 7.55)
A musical culture clash formed on the backstreets of Barcelona playing their 'Acoustik Alt Hop' set fusing tap dance & body percussion with dynamic sing along tunes!
Voodoo Rays (8.05 - 8.30)
A 4 piece alt/psych/post punk/pop/rock band based in London/Brighton. Over the past 10 years we have been prolific in self-releasing 8 albums, 8 singles and 5 EP's. With over a 130 gigs up and down the country under our belt we have developed our live sound to be an exciting, edge of the seat roller coaster ride that has been described by SupaJam.com as "rock that's not been polished and manipulated, but is instead raw, rough and marvellously tactile" and this goes some way to describe the tension and darkness that pervades our sometimes unnerving experimental sound. We are a fiercely independent band and have developed something of a legendary status on the East London circuit, building up a fearsome reputation by word of mouth alone and by maintaining a frenetic gigging schedule around the capital.
The Out Crowd (8.40 - 9.05)
Riffy, grungy rock band from the South West, UK. Formed in 2014 by long term friends Stu, Sam and Chris. For fans of - Clutch, All Them Witches, Planet Of Zeus.
GUEST DJ TBC (10 - 00)
