SUMMARY:An Evening with Kae Tempest
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Kae Tempest. \nKae Tempest is widely regarded as one of Britain’s greatest wordsmiths. In a career of ferocious creativity\, he has received multiple prizes and critical recognition across the many forms he works in. \nBeginning as a lyricist and songwriter in his teens\, Tempest threw himself fully into whichever discipline he could find work in; gigging as a poet\, writing for the theatre or busking with his band. A decade later\, this obsessive compulsion to push his writing as far and as hard as he could\, secured him a record deal with UK independent label Big Dada and a poetry publishing contract with Picador. \nTempest’s work has always sought to pull the focus between the global or national concerns of a character\, and the private\, very intimate experiences of their lives; the minuscule and the mundane peering out from behind the incomprehensibly large and overpowering. Whether it’s austerity\, addiction\, communal disassociation\, the planet in crises\, or the death of our prevailing myths\, the bigger picture is always made up of tiny parts. \nNow this May at TOM\, Tempest joins us live on stage to discuss his much anticipated return to fiction. His first novel in a decade\, Having Spent Life Seeking is the story of Rothko Taylor\, who returns to their hometown of Edgecliff\, seeking a place to belong after fifteen years in the wilderness. It weaves together themes that have shaped Tempest’s work to date: family and forgiveness; redemption and atonement; desire and abandon; selfhood and community. Themes that are dealt with in this new novel\, with a deeper resolve and a new clarity of intent. \nJoin us live for an evening of conversation and readings with one of the country’s most compelling artists. \nPraise for Kae Tempest \n“An authentically soothing\, powerful thought-provoker” – Matt Haig \n“Daring and vivid” – Guardian \n“A truth-speaker” – Max Porter \n“Powerful and merciful” – Ali Smith

SUMMARY:Louis Tomlinson
DESCRIPTION:Louis Tomlinson Announces ‘How Did We Get Here?’ World Tour 2026 with support from Pale Waves. \nFollowing the release of his new single ‘Lemonade’\, Louis has announced a huge world arena tour\, visiting Europe and North America starting March 2026. \n‘Lemonade’ is a mix of tight funkified guitars\, shimmering keys\, and organic percussion\nleading to a captivating chorus. \nLouis says: “The most important thing was for the first single to sound ambitious\nsonically. It had to be big and fun. To me\, ‘Lemonade’ really has instant and natural personality. It ended up being the perfect way to begin this chapter.” \nThe track debuted on BBC Radio 1 as their ‘Hottest Record.’ Louis also announced that his third album ‘How Did I Get Here?’ will be released in January 2026. \nHe said: “I sum up it as ‘The record I always deserved to make’. My bread and butter is the honesty. I genuinely wear my heart on my sleeve\, and I hope it comes through in the music. I’m still learning and getting better as a singer and a songwriter. I find it impossible to be complacent; it’s not in my vocabulary. For the first time now\, I’m allowing myself to be the artist I’d always hoped to be.”

SUMMARY:The Ocelots
DESCRIPTION:Folklore Sessions Presents; The Ocelots\n+ Support\n17th May 2026\, The Folklore Rooms\n£14adv | 18+ \n“Everything\, When Said Slowly is a joy to listen to-a haunting and majestic album” – KLOF \n“Steeped in classic singer-songwriter Americana\, invoking everyone from vintage Neil Young to Sufjan Stevens. ” – UNCUT \nThe Ocelots are twin brothers Ashley and Brandon Watson from Wexford. Building on the folk-rock essence of their debut\, the duo release of their highly anticipated second album\, Everything\, When Said Slowly\, 7th February 2025. This album unveils a richer\, more expansive sound\, masterfully produced by long-time collaborators Cillian and Lorcan Byrne (Ailbhe Reddy\, Susan O’Neill). The narrative woven throughout the album explores themes of Irish migration\, the perception of time\, love\, and the simple joys of cycling. \nBlood harmonies are the centre of The Ocelots’ sound – imperfections of a voice breaking or a tempo shifting. Recorded live in Orphan Recording Studios\, by Gavin Glass (Lisa Hannigan\, BellX1\, David Keenan\, John Grant\, Villagers)\, the band’s performances help form a driven\, energetic scrapbook\, coloured by flutes\, synths\, harmonica and harmonium. The twin brothers blend absurdity and sincerity in an array of literature-inspired musings. Open tunings and clawhammer banjo bring country-folk contemplation\, but the imagery is very much urban\, living outside of the romanticised glaze of wood cabins and cottage-core nostalgia.
