Folklore Sessions Presents: Gordi + Ruby Gill - 17th October | The Folklore Rooms £18.50adv | 18+ Gordi's 2026 EP Nylon hit the charts before it was released. 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.

A little over a decade later, he began shifting between Oxford and Berlin, then Brighton, Lisbon, Brussels and back to the England.

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 […]
