Elanor Moss: Folklore Sessions Presents; Elanor Moss + Support 11th October | The Folklore Rooms £13.50adv | 18+ 'With shades of Joanna Newsom's dynamic originality, Elanor Moss has a stark subtlety that bowls you over in its intensity.' - CLASH 'The biggest secret weapon in British folk right now" - Far Out Magazine Off the back of tours with the likes of Foxwarren (Andy Shauf), Flyte, and Christian Lee Hutson, Elanor Moss releases debut album The Knife, The Needle via Merge Records. Recorded live to tape over the course of two days, the album evokes the starkness of artists such as Sibylle Baier, and the poetic sensibilities of psych-folk greats before her. A strange and shadowy record of quiet epiphanies. "Oh and the way that it feels To know you Oh and the way it reveals I don't know you" So begins "The Way That It Feels," the concluding track of Elanor Moss' debut full-length album The Knife, The Needle, out August 21, 2026 on Merge Records. In two couplets, sung over birdsong and Moss' classical guitar, she manages to capture an entire universe created in the bond between two people. The couplets mirror each other and hang, like a […]

Early shows and recordings drew comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Yo La Tengo, Spacemen 3, and Sonic Youth, helping the band quickly earn a reputation as a must-see act within the Northern California underground shoegaze and psych scene. Their self-titled debut EP (Mind Expansion Records, 2007; Don Giovanni, 2025) sold out before its official release date, earned critical acclaim, and continues to appear on lists of essential shoegaze releases. “The San Franciscans’ washed-out guitarscapes and affectionate, blanket-warm melodies resemble My Bloody Valentine jamming with Yo La Tengo.” ~ The Big Takeover “It was a night of exceptional intrigue and quite literally, an other-worldly performance. The set bent and warped […]
Jamie McIntyre: Folklore Sessions Presents; Jamie McIntyre + Support 12th October 2026 The Folklore Rooms £13adv | 18+ Jamie McIntyre's rise from busking on the streets of Galway city to stages across Ireland and the UK is one of Ireland's latest growing success stories. Writing since the young age of 15, McIntyre's musical journey began on Shop Street, busking during his college years. His early traction on social media helped to build a loyal following where he caught the eye of Gavin James who selected McIntyre to join him as support in Paris on his European tour as part of Three's City Stages initiative to find up and coming grassroots musicians and champion them. That groundwork paid off in the summer of 2024 when McIntyre released "Over Galway Town", a viral hit garnering over 50 million views on TikTok and has since amassed over 7.5 million streams on Spotify, and sitting alongside some of the world's biggest artists in the viral charts, reaching listeners from across the globe. That summer, McIntyre had the opportunity to work with Imelda May and performed at Electric Picnic as an add on to his Three City Stages experience, having impressed on his initial appearances […]

After performing his smash-hit show ‘Horizons’ to nearly half a million people across the world, Professor Brian Cox is back with his new tour Emergence. Brian has appeared in many landmark science programs for BBC radio and television over the last 15 years, from the Peabody Award-winning Wonders of the Solar System to the world-wide hit series The Planets. “I’ve loved creating Emergence - it’s the most ambitious live show I’ve ever written. I’ve been very lucky to collaborate with a wonderful group of scientists, musicians, film makers and graphic artists to bring cosmology, biology, philosophy and history to the largest and most advanced LED screens available, with the best sound and lights I could find. I hope the show is an all-encompassing experience, and I hope it leaves everyone, whether they love science or music or history, or simply contemplating the beauty of Nature, with something new to think about.” 'A Jaw-dropping reminder that human life is both irrelevant and hugely precious.’ **** The Guardian ‘Science and cosmology doesn’t get any more dazzling and interesting than this – a wonderful journey through space and time orchestrated by Professor Brian Cox.’ Daily Echo ‘Is your brain hurting yet?

Will Samson: Folklore Sessions Presents; Will Samson + Support from Gareth Dickson 22nd October | The Folklore Rooms £14adv | 18+ Unbound by genre limitations, Will Samson has spent over a decade exploring the spaces between electronic, folk and ambient sounds focused on immersive listening and analogue recording techniques.?With maternal grandparents born in Chile & West Bengal (subsequently meeting in Kenya), Samson has often displayed a somewhat restless nature in both his artistic and personal life. Born in Oxford, he emigrated soon afterwards with his parents to Western Australia, where he lived for ten years before returning to the UK. A little over a decade later, he began shifting between Oxford and Berlin, then Brighton, Lisbon, Brussels and back to the England. It's clear to see why much of Samson's captivating work has often explored the nature of identity and belonging. Will has released records through labels such as Wichita Recordings / PIAS (Bloc Party, American Football, Ride), 12k (Taylor Deupree, Ryuichi Sakamoto), Dauw and even UK dance label Aus Music.

Pete Fij + special guests at The Green Door Store on Thursday 22nd October Doors: 7.30pm Tickets: £12 in adv + bf/£14 on the door Standing Age restrictions: 18+ Renowned for his unmistakable voice and wry lyrical touch, Pete Fij(alkowski) makes a welcome return with fresh solo material – unveiling songs that brim with melody, wit and understated charm. Pete first burst onto the scene in the early 90s as the frontman and guitarist of post-shoegaze / pre-Britpop band Adorable, whose 1993 album Against Perfection, released on Creation Records, is regularly referred to as a lost indie classic, with the band picking up multiple ‘Single of the Week’ awards in the NME, and topping the Indie charts. Noel Gallagher once told Creation Records’ Alan McGee that dropping Adorable from the label was one of his biggest mistakes, whilst other artists such as Ash, Slowdive and Brian Jonestown Massacre, amongst others, have all expressed their admiration for the band. Following this, he joined up with his brother Krzys to form the One Little Indian band Polak (Swansongs 2000 / Rubbernecking 2002), which took in influences from the likes of Sparklehorse, Radiohead and dEUS, and led The Independent to call him “the […]
Amy Matthews - Definitions of Toast TOAST /təʊst/ (verb): Apply heat and impart irreversible change. Toast can’t be bread again. (noun, informal): Something that’s finished / over, or doomed to be. (noun): The act of honouring a sentiment by raising a glass, often to new beginnings. Amy doesn’t get angry and she’s starting to feel left out, so she’s on a quest to feel fury; from what she can discern from the world around her, it appears to be all the rage… literally. Amy is navigating the joy of her first queer relationship whilst dusting herself off from a string of several alcoholic partners. You’d think she’d have plenty to be cross about, and yet, whilst everyone seems to be more furious than ever, she just can’t seem to tap into her own anger - so she’s challenged herself to learn. This lack of wrath may also have something to do with a processing lag that is becoming increasingly disruptive - and comical - in her life. Her emotions seemed to be delivered by carrier pigeon, if they arrive at all. This is a show about being awarded Best Supporting Actor in your own life, the beauty of fully embracing […]

Von Hertzen Brothers (Acoustic Enough) | Finnish progressive rock visionaries Von Hertzen Brothers, return to the UK in October 2026 for a very special run of intimate seated theatre shows. Celebrating 25 years as a band, the Finnish band will present a unique live experience unlike anything they have previously brought to UK audiences. The band wryly describe these performances as acoustic “enough” - while the songs may be reimagined away from their usual electric rock set-up, these shows are anything but stripped back. Far from a simple “unplugged” set, these shows interpret the band’s music in a way that is intimate, expansive and more immersive than ever before. The three brothers, Mikko, Kie and Jonne Von Herzen are joined on stage by their bandmate, multi-instrumentalist Markus Pajakkala whose impressive array of instruments goes far beyond a traditional acoustic set-up. The brothers themselves also show off their insane musical skills, each playing multiple instruments and taking turns on drums, keyboards, guitars, vocals, percussion and whatever else is on hand. Presented in seated theatre and cabaret style venues, these evenings are designed to bring audiences closer to the songs and stories at the heart of the music. Spanning the band’s rich […]

HYSTERIA: Women, Mental Health & Identity Brighton Fishing Quarter Gallery 20th–25th April 2027 Open daily, 10am–5pm Private View: Friday 23rd April 2026 7pm–10pm HYSTERIA is an upcoming group exhibition exploring the historical and ongoing treatment of women’s mental and physical health, identity, neurodivergence, trauma, and medical misogyny. The title HYSTERIA references the now-discredited diagnosis once used to medicalise women’s emotions, trauma, sexuality, neurological symptoms, and distress. By reclaiming the term, the exhibition seeks to challenge historical narratives while creating space for contemporary conversations around women’s health and lived experience. Through sculpture, photography, painting, installation, textiles, moving image, sound, and mixed media, participating artists will respond to themes including medical misogyny, neurodivergence, psychiatric history, inherited trauma, institutional harm, memory, identity, and recovery.
