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 […]
Melting Vinyl presents: LSD and the Search For God + special guests on Sunday 11th October at Komedia, Brighton Doors: 7.30 pm / Start 8pm Tickets: £23.50 + booking fee / £27.50 on the door Standing Age restrictions: 14+ Under 16’s to be accompanied Tickets on-sale: Fri 6th March at 09:00 GMT LSD and the Search for God hit the Northern California coast in 2005, seemingly from another place and time, dosing San Francisco with hypnotic shows built on swirling guitars, otherworldly drones, fuzzed-out pop melodies, and dreamy vocal harmonies. 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 […]

She recorded the body of work live-to-tape in a single afternoon - with no overdubs and no edits - and played the new songs to fans on her Australian tour, selling every single advance copy before the internet knew anything about it. Since her debut and sophomore albums Reservoir and Our Two Skins (2017 and 2020, Jagjaguwar), Gordi has built a devoted following on the strength of her songwriting alone - sparse, precise, and quietly devastating. She has performed alongside Bon Iver, The National, and Sam Smith, and collaborated with Troye Sivan and Julien Baker. Her third album Like Plasticine drew on her experiences working as a medical doctor during the pandemic. The record received an ARIA nomination and landed placements on NPR All Songs Considered, BBC 6 Music, and Sirius XMU, with billboards appearing in Times Square - culminating in live performances on CBS Saturday Morning and The Kelly Clarkson Show. Following a sold-out Australian tour, Gordi returns to the UK in the fall, with more worldwide dates to come.
