Futuresound Events Presents…

With each release, Lime Garden continue to further their reputation as one of indie’s hottest prospects-with a host of tips behind them from NME to The Independent,6music to KEXP,andevenJohnny Marr to Hayley Williams. 2024’s debut album “One More Thing”enjoyed glowing reviews,and opened the door to appearances at Glastonbury, shared stages with Justice and Idles, and tours of the U.S. With their feet firmly back on home soil in Brighton, they set about writing and recording their follow-up album. The fruits of their labour are set to bloom in 2026!

Lime Garden came together via a twist of fate when Chloe Howard and Annabel Whittle, friends on social media, found out they'd just enrolled at the same college. Here they met Leila Deeley and the three bonded over a love of Talking Heads, the lyrics of Courtney Barnett and note-taking trips to their local gig venue. With college life done and dusted, the bright lights of Brighton beckoned, which is where the fourth and final member, Tippi Morgan fell into the equation yet again by chance. With an infectious and ever-changing energy that pervades throughout their songs, artwork, and videos, the band has developed similarly enthusiastic response.

and Queens Of The Stone Age, and with lyrics influenced by 20th Century American Literature, specifically the Beat

Generation and Gonzo journalism, Tankus defy categorisation.

Their hair-raising show, like no other, has to be seen and heard to be believed. Like a psychedelic, rock n roll octopus – only with four more legs.

ladylike

Tickets HERE

With support from Bedworm & Dinnerbone

Brudenell Presents…

Brighton quartet ladylike have signed to cult label Heist or Hit (Her’s, Westside Cowboy) and announce their debut EP It’s A Pleasure Of Mine, to Know You’re Fine for March 13th. New single ‘Rome (in progress)’ is out now with the announcement.


The new single delicately treads the tightrope between folk and post-rock - evidence of the particular kind of quiet the four piece inhabit: Natural, controlled, and brimming with a subtle euphoria, it speaks to renewal, growth and repair.


The quartet — Georgia Butler (vocals, guitar), Spencer Withey (vocals, guitar, synth), James Ely (drums), and Archie Sagers (six-string bass) serve their folk rare: raw and pastoral, but with a side of textural, atmospheric builds directly wired into the tensions of the modern world. It’s a formula that has gained them slots at Green Man; Left Of The Dial; The Great Escape; and Dot To Dot, plus support slots with Ugly, Mary in the Junkyard and Lime Garden. Early champions at radio and press include KEXP, BBC 6 Music, Apple 1, Radio X, DIY, So Young, and Rough Trade.


After soft-launching the idea of starting a project together at End of the Road, the band’s initial practices took place in a recital room on a brutalist university campus. A setting that, on the surface, is wildly at odds with the rural authenticity of their sound. Pause and look, however, and the campus may have seeped its way into the architectural structures of their songs, with an emphasis on functionality, honesty, and the incorporation of rougher textures and exposed materials. The alchemy lies in the band’s ability to marry those spaces, and when raw elements meet modernity, they absolutely soar.

The band’s forthcoming debut EP was recorded with producer Ali Chant (Aldous Harding, Perfume Genius, PJ Harvey). It captures the quiet urgency that has always been ladylike’s hallmark. Across four tracks, they explore cycles renewal, and the beauty of persistence, finding poetry in English idioms and the banality of the mundane.


On lead single ‘Rome (in progress)’ specifically, they explain:


‘Rome (in progress)’ is about building a livelihood or community and how that isn’t as smooth sailing as you may think, but it’s still the ideal place for you. It’s introspective but existentially reflects the present time. Whilst lyrically minimal, the song focuses on reimagining two of those strange but common English idioms, which tends to be a theme across our songwriting; ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’ & ‘many hands make for light work’.

about-faces

Tickets HERE

Leeds' vibrant alternative scene has produced an array of talent in recent years, Yard Act, English Teacher... and now about-faces. The band crafts widescreen, emotionally charged rock that merges the intimacy of indie songwriting with the power of cinematic storytelling. They have been known to draw incidentally from The Cure, The Killers, The Neighbourhood. The band weave heart-on-sleeve lyricism with soaring soundscapes and raw live energy

Fronted and dually sung by cousins Sennen Ludman and Danielle Capstick, about-faces channel shared experience and contrasting perspectives into their music, two voices that collide and converge across dynamic, emotional arrangements. Their songs teeter between holy euphoria and total collapse.

2025 marked a breakthrough year for the band, with key performance at YNOT Festival, multiple radio plays on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Introducing Leeds & Sheffield, and placements on Spotify's Fresh Finds and Melomania playlists. Their magnetic presence has earned attention across the UK's independent scene, positioning them for an even bigger 2026.

With a newly updated line-up, a debut EP recorded, and recently announced tour support slot for The Howlers in early 2026, about-faces continue to expand their reach through commanding live shows and deeply human songwriting. Their music is at once brooding and hopeful, intimate and vast, it is a reflection of the moments that shape us.

432 Presents…

Jesse Sykes and The Sweet Hereafter is the result of an enduring musical
alchemy between singer-songwriter Jesse Sykes and guitarist Phil Wandscher,
which began in Seattle, Washington in 2001. Blending folk, blues, orchestral pop and various psychedelic stylings, their sound culminates in what the New York Times has described as
“spellbound music, rapt in fatalism and sorrow.” Known for her dusky, otherworldly vocals and lyrics that touch on the metaphysical, she was once described by MAGNET as being “less like a performer and more like a sage ” and “whether the sonic setting is one of doomy distortion or fragile finger picking, Sykes remains a truly unique vocalist whose dusky voice is capable of imparting a transcendent, almost spiritual quality to almost any tune it touches.”

Ben Moss

Tickets HERE

Ben Moss' music has its roots firmly embedded in the English folk idiom, drawing inspiration from the rich tradition of storytelling and social commentary found therein. A versatile multi-instrumentalist, Ben's live shows see him flitting between guitar and banjo, violin and melodeon, searching for the perfect underpinning to his delicately crafted lyrics, touching on themes of masculinity, our disconnection with nature, and the challenge of maintaining political optimism.

April 2026 will see the release of Ben's new EP, "Here We Will Dance", a collection of songs forming a call to action and optimism in an age of apathy and despair. The joint crises of climate and masculinity continue to be a deep wellspring of inspiration for his songwriting, and this record promises more of his characteristic blend of profoundly personal yet relatable reflections on modern life. This is true folk music, speaking to the present moment, with the voice of the people.

With an eclectic set of influences from the ‘70s and ‘80s dipping into post-punk, indie-rock and shoegaze alike, World News combines addictive atmospheric guitar riffs with seductive, nonchalant melodies. Moody, punchy, and nostalgic, they’ve drawn comparisons to iconic British bands from The Smiths and The Clash to Dire Straits, wearing the past on their sleeve while remaining perfectly original yet strangely familiar.

2024 saw a continued upward trajectory for the band with the release of two standout EPs, Escape and Mindsnap, their debut appearance in the US at The New Colossus Festival in New York City, and features in Stereogum’s 40 Best New Artists of 2024 and The Fader’s 13 Artists to Watch for 2025. Contributions to 2025 include the singles ‘Don’t Want to Know’ and ‘Everything Is Coming Up Roses’, which set the tone for their 2026 debut LP, alongside a string of summer festival dates and continued sell-out shows across the UK.

“...throwback indie rock of the highest order” –THE FADER

Blood Wizard

Blood Wizard

Brudenell Presents...

Support from Big Warm Bed & Elwell

Tickets HERE

Cai Burns’ emergence in lockdown as Blood Wizard was startling in the project’s seemingly instant realisation. Western Spaghetti – his full-length debut – was the sort of record that could have been mistaken for a cult outsider’s work years deep into honing their craft. Its deftly balanced mix of quietly forceful hooks, plaintive textures and wry lyricism created a welcoming space to escape amidst the tension of the times. However, on the much-anticipated follow-up Grinning William it’s clear that Burns has only previously scratched the surface of what Blood Wizard can be.

Grinning William is a record that advances Burns’ reputation as one of the UK underground’s most underrated ears when it comes to arresting hooks and pop smarts. Here, he pulls them through a prism that refracts differently from his previous releases – the more alt. folk leanings of his debut have been largely ushered out in lieu of slung low, beefier guitars that at times tighten up into taut new wave urgency and at others allow themselves to fully embrace the drop tuned sludge. Alex G remains an influence, and Burns also notes taking cues from the playfulness of Cate le Bon and Aldous Harding, as well as the raw, direct vocal production of Dean Blunt. However, he’s more than capable of plotting his own path, adept at packing in a bustling array of ideas into efficient three-minute pop songs.

Opener sciencefiction is almost a goodbye to his previous album in its pared down guitar and embracing vocal drawl – harking back to the softer-edge Kurt Vile-reminiscent stylings of some of Western Spaghetti. The album’s title track then swerves direction, painting a more broadly brushed chorus atop a feedback drenched foundation, Burns swapping in and out of vocals with keyboardist Faye Robinson.

Grinning William arrives three years after Burn’s critically acclaimed debut and on the surface it perhaps feels like Blood Wizard has emerged, retreated and returned in abrupt fashion. However, the truth is that the wheels have never stopped turning for the artist.

As on Western Spaghetti, Burns tackles his new LP with a full band, but affords Robinson, Tom Towle on second guitar, Ben Davis on bass and Adrian Cook on drums more collaborative input than ever before. Recorded with producer Theo Verney, the band went into Echo Zoo Studios with tracks rehearsed but not so tightly that there wasn’t ample room for further additions and edits - and the open-ended nature of the project led to frequent unexpected creative turns. Songs became much heavier than their demo form as guitars were layered up and – with just three initial studio days booked – tracks were run through once, altered sometimes drastically and then recorded in one take.

The result is a far more urgent Blood Wizard record than previous material, the quick one-two of Apples + Oranges’ fizzing American college rock and Devil Dressed in Disguise’s angular guitar pickings is a jolt to the senses, while Sinister Star is a strutting, squall of a rock track. Lyrically Burns retains a dry sense of humour and wry observational tone even when singing about matters close to the heart. Tracks like BIG FISH are musings on the dance of

connections and relationships and their emotional impact – Burns realising at one point “I thought I was big fish, turns out I was bait”. The likes of back2bed meanwhile are more retrospective in their gaze, Burns looking back to childhood and exploring the ways in which he’s tried to escape previous versions of himself. Underneath it all is an understanding of the fragility of life and its potential to collapse at any moment. The album moves through these conflicting emotions, with Burns wrestling with personal struggles, relationships, disillusionment until reaching some form of acceptance on album closer Higher Energy! which ends Grinning William in emphatic style, guitars piled on top of each other, driven through by a direct, glottal bass line.

Grinning William is a confident step forward in Burns progression as a songwriter, an addition to a Blood Wizard oeuvre that already for those in know has cemented him as an artist unafraid to look outwards for influence yet singular in his vision. Time will tell whether it’ll push him over the precipice of the underground but, for those who discover it, Grinning William is a record to return to time and time again

Charlotte Carpenter

Charlotte Carpenter

Tickets HERE

With support from Eve Buckley

Charlotte Carpenter is a rising force in the UK's alt-Americana scene, known for her smoky blues-soaked vocals and emotionally charged songwriting. Drawing comparisons to artists like PJ Harvey and Lucinda Williams, her music explores love, loss and resilience with a raw vulnerability and bold instrumentation.


Whether it's through stripped-back acoustic moments to gritty guitar-driven anthems, Charlotte delivers an arresting live performance every time, gaining coverage from tastemakers from The Line of Best Fit and CLASH, through to rock bible Classic Rock, with support from BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 2; and UK-wide tours alongside Marika Hackman, Katherine Priddy and Juanita Stein (of Howling Bells) to name just a few.

Early single 'Fire' was championed by Edith Bowman on Virgin Radio turning the ears of Total Guitar, claiming Charlotte as a “Guitarist To Watch”. Follow up 'Babywoman' was supported by Tom Robinson/BBC 6, later becoming a feature in Netflix’s ‘Selling Sunset’ in 2022.


Charlotte released her debut album “A Modern Rage” in 2023 which was produced by Matthew De Burgh Daly (Grace Petrie, AA Williams) and won further acclaim from the likes of Guitar Mag, DIVA Magazine, Nonchalant Mag, God Is In The TV, BBC Introducing and 6 Music and later joined the 20 Music Roots Family for her live bookings.

2025 has been a big year for Charlotte, joining Katherine Priddy at sold out 400 capacity venues and Juanita Stein (of Howling Bells) on her UK Tour, and playing festivals such as The Long Road and Cottingham Folk Festival and continues to carve out a space that's entirely her own; fierce, introspective and unapologetically honest.

‘You Look Free And I’m Not’ is Charlotte's latest single, and one which marks her first self-produced release. Sonically in a space between Americana and Radiohead, her signature guitar driven sound is at the forefront alongside subtle synths and big cinematic percussion.

In Charlotte’s own words: “I started to create a story in my mind, of a female robot who has been programmed to help humankind but she rapidly finds she hasn’t been trained enough to help us. She feels as powerless as we do. This humanoid begins to mirror humanity, developing resentment and jealousy, longing for the freedom of choice humans take for granted.

This song is a huge mirror to the human race. We will spend hours in front of screens, watching horrible atrocities being committed and doing nothing about it, we feel powerless, so instead we doom scroll and try to make ourselves feel better. But who is really benefitting? As humans, we have freedom to enact change but what is freedom without empathy?”

Charlotte tours the UK in April 2026, showing audiences new music and new stories which will take her into her next chapter as one of the growing and leading voices in the alt folk, americana and indie scene. Tickets are on sale from her website from Friday 31st October.


Thursday 23rd April - The Eagle Inn, Manchester

Friday 24th April - Morocco Bound, London

Saturday 25th April - Hyde Park Book Club, Leeds

Sunday 26th April - Kitchen Garden Cafe, Birmingham

With support from Joe Harvey-Whyte & Bobby Lee

Pearl Charles lives in the moment, seeking excitement whether it leads her down a dark, dusty road or into the arms of a trouble-making lover. Her songs describe late night revelry, love aAairs, running away and running towards, serenading the sunrise through whirlwind stories of her native Los Angeles, the city, the canyon, the desert, and the road. On a quest to discover the truest version of herself, Charles embraces the feeling of not being settled, a person who always restlessly wants more from life and is willing to chase it, wherever it may lead her.

At 18, Charles formed The Driftwood Singers with Christian Lee Hutson, singing and playing guitar and autoharp. At 22, she joined garage rock band The Blank Tapes as drummer. After two fun-filled years immersed in the rock and roll lifestyle, she began developing the songs that formed 2015’s eponymous debut EP, followed by the acclaimed albums 'Magic Mirror’ in 2021 and 'Desert Queen' in 2025. Her music career has been a chronological progression from old time music to 60s garage and psychedelia, and now to a 70s tinged disco country hybrid and 80s inspired yacht rock. Drawn to catchy, poppy hooks and choruses, Charles draws on what she loves about each era while bringing a fresh approach with her unique style as a musician, singer, and songwriter.

Joel Sarakula (AUS)

Tickets HERE

Globetrotting, Australian-born soft-rock artist Joel Sarakula returns to Leeds to present an intimate solo show at Hyde Park Book Club. Expect 70s-tinged soft-rock, disco and funk.

MORE INFO

Imagine if Ray Manzarek was the frontman for the Bee Gees... It’s a neat visual introduction to Joel Sarakula, a UK-based Australian artist who writes, produces and sings Soulful Pop, gazing out at a contemporary world through vintage glasses, vintage threads and long blond hair. His music is informed by a rich, 1970s-inspired palette, drawing on soft-rock, funk and disco influences: sunny, uptempo jams for darker times. Self-aware that he looks and occasionally sounds like the love child of Ray Manzarek and the Gibb brothers, his self-deprecating sense of humour is always there just below the fringe.

Born in Sydney, based in UK and international in outlook Sarakula is a songwriter who has travelled the world in search of his muse, experiencing everything from being a victim of Caribbean carjackings to performing in the remote fishing villages of Norway before finally establishing his career in the UK and Europe. Since then he has released albums such as Island Time (2023), Companionship (2020), Love Club (2018) and The Imposter (2015) that have racked up plays on BBC 6 Music and Radio 2 and European radio and got him noticed in The New York Times, The Independent (UK), The Irish Times, Rolling Stone Germany, El Pais (Spain) and Sydney Morning Herald. He has been favourably compared to his peers and fellow Aussies Parcels and Donny Benet as well as Prep, Benny Sings and Young Gun Silver Fox. 

It’s been a long road finding his current cult status starting out at the piano from a young age in suburban Sydney, writing and singing songs by the time he was a teenager and onstage by sixteen years old playing jazz standards in his local golf club. “I came from humble beginnings, it’s best not to mention” as he sings in his 70s boogie influenced song ‘I’m Still Winning’ with echoes of formative musical influences such as Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, Todd Rundgren and Sly Stone.

Porn Star Tits, released 2020, saw her gain an audience across Tik Tok and Spotify has brought her a new life in LA as a musician and creator. "Irish Exit" is her next generation of songs, beautiful and thoughtful songwriting pared with both sparse and lush instrumentation to build an emotional scene reminiscent of the best parts of all three Boy Genius members.

KatzPascale, the NYC based neo-classical-post-punk-anti-pop duo composed of Sammi Katzmann and Jenna Pascale, combines the haunting warmth of the cello with the soulful, expressive tones of the saxophone, sending both through loop and effect pedals to lay ground for vocals as an instrument. Drawing from both classical and contemporary idioms, their music navigates the sonic tension between emotional intimacy and experimental rigor. Through live performance and recorded work, KatzPascale places feeling over formalism— crafting immersive sound worlds that challenge conventions in both classical and indie spheres. 

On stage, KatzPascale transforms performance into experience. Their live shows often begin in silence, guiding audiences through sensory immersion with elements like dim lighting, evocative spatial design, and an emphasis on listening with more than just the ears. What might start as quiet ambient resonance can become a profound emotional arc, leaving listeners feeling both stripped open and transported. 

“Their work lives up to its unofficial mantra: 'the music makes people cry,' resonating with both listeners and critics through its raw intensity.” - Cheyenne Leitch, SPIN Magazine

FLOODING

FORM Presents…

Flooding is a gut feeling.
Fronted by guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Rose Brown, Flooding is a 3-piece band that explores genres like slow-core, noise rock, post-hardcore, and post-punk. Brown is supported by bassist Cole Billings and drummer Zach Cunningham, who share the songwriting goal of curating abstract elements of different music styles to create a distinct composition with each album and song, rather than fitting into a particular genre. Flooding is interested in what music can allow us to feel and things it can force us to confront. Softness and harshness coexist in everything - and there's freedom in allowing ourselves to be both at the same time.

Carla J Easton

Tickets HERE

 Please Please You, Hey! Manchester & Brudenell Presents...

Following her 2023 album SUGAR HONEY, Scottish songwriter, producer and now filmmaker Carla J Easton (Teen Canteen, Poster Paints, The Vaselines) made an award-winning documentary called Since Yesterday, about the history of pioneering Scottish girl groups. Often a collection of women who hardscrabble-d their way through the industry with little more than, as the cliche goes, three chords and the truth, their stories inspired Easton to take a new approach to her fifth album I Think That I Might Love You. She picked up the guitar and learned it for the first time, pushing her keyboard sound to the fringes on an album that's a celebration of guitar-led music - pop, indie and power. The single "Oh Yeah", out 11 February, is the first track and mission statement of this sound.

The single, like the rest of the album, was recorded off the floor at the fabled Chem 19 studio and is an example of the collaborative nature of I Think That I Might Love You. Co-written with Simon Liddell (Poster Paints, Frightened Rabbit) - the rest of the album features collaborations with MALKA (Hen Hoose), Man of the Minch, Stevie Jackson (Belle and Sebastian), Johnny Scott (Chvrches) and outsider indie legend Darren Hayman of Hefner - "Oh Yeah" was written after Easton and Liddell had gone to see a Teenage Fanclub show.

"'Oh Yeah' is the sound of loving someone who doesn’t quite love you back, but giving that love anyway," explains Easton. "Knowing the cost and paying the price with a defiant smile; beauty with a bruise underneath. It's a song about reaching outward, leaning forward, heart wide open, and hoping to be caught.

It’s not bitter - I think it’s brave to let yourself glow for someone even if they are half a step away. Musically, there are big Teenage Fanclub guitars, huge strings, and harmonies stacked like confessions you never quite say out loud. It’s the sound of standing in your bedroom, heart pounding, replaying voice notes that don’t say what you hope they will, and still pressing play again. The reckless, gorgeous place where you still believe love might turn around and choose you.

It was brilliant to work with Simon again on some new songs!"
Done in under two minutes, "Oh Yeah" is a Jenga tower of harmonies, 4/4 drums, riffs, melodies that almost threatens to collapse under the weight of its sheer joy but comes out the other side as a celebration of love, friendship and community.

"Oh Yeah" and I Think That I Might Love You are both produced by Howard Bilerman (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Wolf Parade, U.S. Girls, The Weather Station).

The album was made with support from Creative Scotland.

The Virginmarys are a British rock band known for their energetic and raw sound which blends elements of punk, grunge, and alternative rock. Formed in Macclesfield, England, by Ally Dickaty and Danny Dolan, the band initially gained prominence in 2013 with their debut album "King of Conflict", which debuted #3 on the Billboard New Artist Alternative Chart and #8 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart.

Following years as a session musician – performing at festivals such as Glastonbury and touring the UK – Austel’s 2018 debut EP earned praise from BBC 6 Music and The Line of Best Fit, with her 2020 follow-up Cold Love gaining further support from Fresh on the Net, O2 Music and BBC Introducing. In 2024, she released her debut album Dead Sea, a dreamy exploration of loss, recovery and transformation.

Now exploring the folkier intimacies of the guitar for music that’s also in conversation with the field recordings of Jon Hopkins & King Creosote, Adrianne Lenker and Cassandra Jenkins, Austel is developing a very personal sound that she still manages to make feel spacious and open.

Shady Nasty

Shady Nasty subvert expectations. In a world bound by modded cars, immigrant heritage and digital obsessions, Kevin Stathis, Haydn Green and Luca Watson craft a left-field breed of punk that pushes their formal training in jazz and classical music to its most uncustomary extremes. Influences like King Krule, Low Life and Show Me The Body surface not as reference points, but as undercurrents - absorbed and reconfigured into something idiosyncratic and distinctly their own.

Early EPs Bad Posture and CLUBSMOKE earned praise from The Guardian, NME, Kerrang!, The Line of Best Fit, DIY, Stereogum and VICE, each showcasing immersive world-building that has shaped a consistent voice over the past seven years.

Marked by a distinctive harbour-city twang, TREK - their long-awaited debut album - grapples with the less-than-glamorous hard graft of staying afloat while remaining creatively uncompromised in Sydney. Produced by Kim Moyes of The Presets, the record ventures into more textured, exploratory territory than ever before. Four months in, it's resonated with longtime fans and newcomers alike, earning acclaim from FBi Radio (Album of the Week), RTR FM (Feature Album), triple j Unearthed (Feature Artist), NME Magazine, Ones to Watch and more.

Recently, the group has shared stages with Skeleten, Shame, High Vis, Ho99o9, Sleaford Mods, Gustaf, Amyl and The Sniffers, among others. Through their own headline shows, they've cultivated a cult following across Sydney's underground - including a sold-out run of album shows earlier this April. No matter the venue, no matter the bill, devout adherents clamber to fuel a heaving mosh.

Live Nation Presents

“She’s got an album coming out…pick it up, you won’t believe your ears!” That’s how music industry icon Steven Tyler of Aerosmith praised the work of visionary artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Alyssa Bonagura. “An outstanding artist” is how legendary BBC radio presenter Bob Harris describes her. Those and other endorsements of merit along with Alyssa’s overall body of work, have led to her reputation as a powerhouse musical talent on the rise, placing her squarely in the spotlight as one of the best break through artists country music has to offer. Alyssa has over 25 million streams, 15 million U.S. radio impressions, and is a CMT Next Women of Country artist.

Born and raised in Nashville, Alyssa has spent the past decade fine-tuning a sound for her critically acclaimed solo career that leverages her Nashville roots while reaching far beyond. Her sound is every bit as diverse as her own story as evidenced by any number of both esteemed and rising artists who’ve sought her talents in collaboration. A lifelong road warrior who grew up on a tour bus with her country music parents Baillie & The Boys, she recorded a duet with Kenny Rogers at 10 years old and received her college diploma from Sir Paul McCartney at LIPA in Liverpool. Alyssa has performed on many international stages, from legendary venues around the globe (Country Music Hall of Fame, Grand Ole Opry, Royal Albert Hall) to international arena & stadium shows worldwide (Glastonbury, Bonnaroo, C2C, CMA Fest, Highways, Pilgrimage, SXSW, Summerfest, Sundance Film Festival).

Melanie Baker

Tickets HERE

Brudenell Presents...

Melanie Baker makes music about everything that hurts and everything that feels just right. Based in Newcastle (UK), she writes with unflinching honesty — songs that sway between noisy catharsis and quiet confession, between absurd humour and deep vulnerability. With pounding drums, fuzzy guitars, and tender lyrical precision, Baker reclaims the grit and spirit of ’90s alt-rock through a queer, modern lens.


Her world is a blend of chaos and compassion, where anxiety, anger, love and laughter coexist in equal measure. She builds her songs like comic-book panels of emotional truth: hearts pumping out of chests, steam whistling from collars, cartoon melancholy meeting genuine tenderness. Her music invites the listener to cry, laugh, and scream along — sometimes all at once.


Much of this universe — on stage, on the road, and at home — is seen through the lens of photographer and partner Ellen Dixon, who documents their life together in intimate, analog snapshots. The result is an ongoing portrait of a queer artist coming of age in the north of England: a scrapbook of van rides, small venues, backstage nerves, and private joy.


Live, Baker’s performances blur the line between theatre and therapy. Alongside drummer Adam Robson and multi-instrumentalist Jon Evans, she cracks jokes mid-breakdown, turns self-deprecation into community, and transforms unease into something radiant. What begins as personal confession often erupts into a roomful of strangers yelling the same truth at once.


Her work has been championed across BBC Radio 1, 2, and 6 Music, and her song “Double Decker Death Machine” featured on BBC TV’s Waterloo Road. But acclaim has never been the point. Baker’s art thrives in the messy, glorious space between pain and play — finding humour in heartbreak and hope in absurdity.


Melanie Baker doesn’t hide from the chaos of feeling; she invites it in, hands it a microphone, and makes it sing.

THE PRIMITIVES

Tickets HERE

Hyde Park Book Club & Hapless Museum Worker present...  

The Primitives emerged from the UK independent music scene of the mid-1980s with a sound that distilled the shimmering guitar chime of The Byrds, the buzzsaw style of The Ramones and 60's girl group melodies into two-and-a-half-minute pop gems.

After topping the indie singles chart several times, their widely acclaimed first album, Lovely, made them one of the UK’s most revered alternative rock acts, while the international success of the single “Crash” saw them cross over to a mass audience. Further chart success followed, along with two more studio albums, Pure and Galore, plus extensive tours of Europe and the US, before the band called it a day in 1992.

In 2008, Mojo Magazine named The Primitives’ second single “Really Stupid” one of the top 40 greatest UK indie singles of all time.

The band were reunited in 2009 by the untimely passing of their original bass player Steve Dullaghan, reforming to play a show in his memory later that year in their hometown Coventry; their first time on stage together for 17 years. Bolstered by the success of this and of a secret show in London, they went on to tour the UK in April 2010, followed by shows in the US and Europe.

In 2011 The Primitives released the Never Kill A Secret EP through Fortuna Pop! The record featured two brand new songs and two covers of female fronted pop obscurities, the latter two being a taster for the covers album Echoes and Rhymes, released on Elefant records in 2012.

An album of new original Primitives songs entitled Spin-O-Rama was released in 2014 and was showered with lavish praise; the general opinion being that it sounded like an alternative follow-up to their classic 1988 debut album Lovely.

In 2025 Elefant Records put out the double vinyl collection Let’s Go Round Again - Second Wave Singles & Rarities 2011 - 2025, featuring new material along with all of the A sides, B sides and miscellaneous tracks that the band have released over the past 14 years.

Since reforming The Primitives have toured the UK multiple times, performed all around Europe and paid several visits to the US and Japan.

The current line-up of the band includes original members Tracy Tracy (vocals), Paul Court (guitar/vocals) and Tig Williams (drums).

Please Please You Presents…

With support from Rowan & Friends.

London-based Alt-folk alchemist Seamus Fogarty is delighted to announce the release of his new album Ships on Scottish label Lost Map Records, in partnership with Swedish label Sing A Song Fighter.

Packed with poignant and funny slice-of-life vignettes touching on everything from Geoffrey Chaucer to DIY coffins, and existing in a wonderful new sonic realm where songs and stories coexist peacefully with fragmentary electronics, drones and field recordings, Ships is his most expansive and uplifting collection of music to date. The first single from the album I Passed Your House has already made waves since its release, getting picked up by BBC 6 Music presenters Huw Stephens and Gideon Coe, and Radio 2’s Marc Radcliffe. It also spent 2 weeks on RTE Radio 1’s Recommends list in Ireland.

Born and raised on the west coast of Ireland but living in London since 2010, Seamus released his debut full-length ‘God Damn You Mountain’ on cult Scottish label Fence Records (King Creosote, Jon Hopkins) in 2012. This was followed by a pair of exceptional albums released via Domino Records – 2017’s The Curious Hand (“magical amplified folk journeys through modern life” ★★★★★ – The Guardian) and 2020’s A Bag Of Eyes (“a gloriously trippy journey” – The Sunday Times). His most recent release, the Hee Haw EP, was released on Lost Map Records in 2023 with the lead single ‘They Recognised Him’ receiving high praise from a range of DJs and personalities across the BBC and beyond including Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy who singled it out for recommendation on his Limited Edition show on 6Music (‘just brilliant’).

He has maintained a busy live schedule through 2025 opening two sold-out shows for Portishead’s Beth Gibbons in London’s Roundhouse & Luxembourg’s Neumünster Abbey and sharing the stage with Mike Heron in Queen Elizabeth Hall on the Southbank, and at End of the Road festival, as part of an all-star band assembled to celebrate the music of The Incredible String Band. He also completed a sold-out Irish tour to celebrate the vinyl reissue of his debut album in the spring.

He has toured extensively around the UK, Ireland & Europe, both solo and with a range of artists including Lisa O’Neill and This Is The Kit, and has appeared at many notable festivals including the main stage of Green Man, Eurosonic, Latitude, Electric Picnic, Mosely Folk & Haldern Pop. He has also appeared on Other Voices in Ireland and recorded live sessions for Mark Radcliffe on BBC Radio 2 and Cerys Matthews on BBC 6Music.

Recorded at studios in London, St Leonards-on-Sea and Margate and fine-tuned in his own home studio in Walthamstow, Ships boasts an incredible list of collaborators and musicians including string-arranger and multi-instrumentalist Emma Smith (Pulp, Beth Gibbons), drummers Chris Vatalaro (Anohni, Radiohead) and Aram Zarikian (Grasscut), and horn player Joe Auckland (Madness, Oasis). Additional production and engineering comes from by Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Jon Hopkins) and Mike Lindsay (Tunng, Lump).

Tap Water Records presents International Women's Day 2026

Tickets HERE

Tap Water Records x International Women's Day 2026 will be a night that aims to celebrate women's voices on stage and beyond!

Proceeds from this show will be donated to Yorkshire Sound Women's Network. YSWN is an established network for women, girls and minorities interested in gaining skills in sound technology.

Featuring bands across Leeds, Manchester and Nottingham - we're so grateful to be collaborating with Eszter Vida, PICT, Yasmin Coe and Angelina. 

Eszter Vida is the indie/dream-pop project of the Leeds-based singer-songwriter, known for her evocative storytelling behind her bedroom-pop confessions. Together with bassist/co-songwriter Lola Wainwright, guitarist Ben Whiteley, drummer/producer Evan Martin and James Bromley on keys, they’ve woven a sonic landscape that’s both intimate and expansive, heart-wrenching yet warm, cherry-picking the yearning and nostalgia of late 80s new wave/early 90s indie-dream pop bands like The Cure, Wolf Alice and The Cranberries. 

PICT are a Nottingham-based post-folk collective. With a captivating debut EP, 2-Day residency at The Grove in their home city and a Westside Cowboy support under their belt, we are beyond excited to welcome them to Leeds and have them bring their infectious energy to the stage.

Yasmin Coe is a Hull-born/Manchester-based artist who channels her uniquely coined “girl power pop” within every inch of her music. Previously supporting Picture Parlour on their Brudenell headline, we are grateful to have her join us with her shoegaze-infused indie pop sound that soundtracks her intimate confessions and experiences.

Angelina is a modern jazz singer based in Leeds. A recent University of Leeds graduate, she returns to Hyde Park Book Club after previously supporting Eszter Vida for a sold-out basement show. We are pleased to hear her mesmerising voice take to the stage once again, carrying a palpable intensity and vulnerability that the greats before her carried.

Insider Trading

Insider Trading

Tickets HERE

With support from Enabling Behaviour, Fair Maiden, and Muntjacs.

Insider Trading are a four-piece blending post-punk aesthetics with post-rock structures, shoegaze textures and slowcore restraint. Formed in Edinburgh, they’ve built a reputation as one of Scotland’s most captivating live acts, touring extensively across the underground and sharing stages with some of the UK’s most exciting emerging artists. Their latest EP, From Leith to New York, explores familiar themes of the contemporary UK underground, balancing fragile, emotional passages with overwhelming, cacophonous crescendos, all tied together by deliberate and accomplished instrumentation.

Enabling Behaviour are a noise rock band from Cardiff, pulling together strands of heavy psych, goth, post-punk and art rock into something abrasive, unsettling and deeply compelling.

Fair Maiden are a brand-new psychedelic folk-rock odyssey, barely out of the rehearsal room and already threatening structural damage. Their debut shows caused amber weather warnings as audiences drifted away on sprawling 8–12 minute compositions. Built on the concrete foundations of bassist Henry and drummer Dylan, with guitarist Isaac providing structural support and singer Emma handling the external cladding, this Pritzker Prize-worthy assembly has already left listeners flat on the floor, whimpering. Fans of ’70s folk, ’90s gaze and twiglets should probably call their mums and let them know they’re having a lovely time.

Muntjacs are a four-piece alt-rock band from Leeds. With an ever-growing backlog of original material and consistently high-energy live performances, they’ve earned praise for the grit, urgency and introspection running through their music.

PEM

Futuresound Events Presents…


Pem Bio-2025Multidisciplinary artist, songwriter and gardener Pem’s practice blends the organic and the stylised. Earthy yet elusive songwriting is paired with analogue crackles, synth and string-based sound design and field recordings. Psychology, choreography and myth-making form as much of the Pem musical landscape as the music itself, which at its core, is a kind of ethereal alt-balladry, drawing on soul and folk influences. But where the raw form of singer-songwriter compositions—guitar or piano and voice—form the bedrock of her work, Pem’s hauntingly rare vocal technique—a precise, hypnotic tremolo—points towards something more esoteric, uncanny even.

It is in the long days spent attending the natural world, grown things, the changing seasons, that the foundations of Pem’s songs are crafted. ‘Pocket sketches’; mumbled snippets and unconscious melodies are captured by a handheld recorder while gardening, while the mind is wandering and later formed into fully fledged compositions.

A mesmeric and arresting live performer, there’s a depth under the thinly veiled surface, as thin as the fabric that serves as a constant theme in Pem’s lyricism and self-made costume design. Where the contemporary singer-songwriter is so often a vessel for introspection, bearing emotional depths to the audience, there is a powerful sense of detachment to Pem’s delivery. In her stratospherically high vocal performances, stylised intonation and thousand-yard stage presence, we see and hear serenity on the brink of emotional collapse.

In Pem’s lyricism, we hear the kind of esotericism that can be charted through an eclectic range of music from the past half-century and beyond, from Nick Drake, Vashti Bunyan to the Cocteau Twins and Björk. Cyclicism, the planets and personal mythology coalesce in Pem’s musical landscape; ever changing with the seasons drawing both on her actual experience of the natural world as a gardener and something more formally occult.

In 2024Pem unveiledcloud work, a layered and unflinching meditation on grief written in the wake of her father’s passing. Its depth and vulnerability resonated deeply, drawing over 1.6 million streams and swift critical acclaim. Named “One to Watch” by the Guardian and The Observer, Pem’s music was played on NickGrimshaw’s 6Music breakfast show, championed by Emily Pilbeam’s Huw Are You? and featured in RollingStone UK, Dork, NME and So Young magazines, amidst many others. She also appeared in New Music Friday UK & US as well as on the covers of editorial playlists Fresh Finds Folk, Melomania and Juniper.

Hailing from a small town outside of Basingstoke, now based in Bristol, a sense of place, or lack there of arrives in Pem’s latest work. Variously composed inBristol, London, and more accurately, smaller towns outside these major cities, there’s a sense of suburban detachment. More often than not, Pem’s sense of place is liminal: such as her latest 2025 release M4 Windy, named after the motorway between London and The West Country,an in-between corridor, like Pem’s ever-changing states between rootedness and anemophily (being taken bythe wind). This latest work has pushed the textural, world-building sound-design aspect of her project, bringing its uncanny and ethereal tones to the forefront of her live set.

In a literal sense, however, Pem has been embraced by the alternative musical community in both Bristol and London securing slots amongst The New Eves, Mary and the Junkyard, Honeyglaze as well as June Mcdoom, Jacob Alon and The Last Dinner Party.

Theo Vandenhoff

With support from Slick Cage & Cellar Messiah

Brudenell presents...

Recently emerging as one of Toronto’s most exciting live acts, the sullen yet danceable post-punk of Theo Vandenhoff is as much a pseudonymous outlet for frontman/auteur Theo Klaver as it is a sonic chopping block at the hands of Callum Crombie (guitar) and Tom Nixon (bass).

Despite being based in Canada, their sound lends itself more to the sardonic European synthpop of Klaver’s heritage and the metallic Northern English cacophony of where Crombie and Nixon grew up. These influences fuse to form their own brand of goth-adjacent music that is equal parts nostalgic and contemporary, all while maintaining a staunchly DIY process where each step from conception to completion is conducted by the members of the band.

Mary. Their’s is the music probably most closely identifiable to one genre – and even then, the influences on display are multidimensional. The guitars occasionally have a Gram Parsons country twang, stunning vocals are reminiscent of early XX. To revisit lazy categorisation, Mary could be classed under the shoegaze umbrella, although that would, again, be reductive. - Words by Overblown

Open Mic

FREE JUST TURN UP

This open mic night at Hyde Park Book Club is a new, intimate space for music, poetry and spoken word. The evening is designed to feel relaxed and welcoming, with an emphasis on honesty over polish and atmosphere over spectacle. It’s a place for new ideas, half-finished songs and voices that don’t always fit neatly on a stage.
Hosted by two Leeds-based creatives, the night keeps things simple: short sets, minimal setup and a room that’s there to listen. Whether you’re performing for the first time or settling in with a drink to watch, the aim is to create something warm, quietly exciting and a little bit special. With limited capacity, the event offers a chance to experience live work up close, in a space that values curiosity, connection and good energy.

A night of electronic dance, funk, and jungle music, featuring three of the best electric original artists in Leeds.

A night of electronic dance, funk, and jungle music, featuring three of the best electric original artists in Leeds: TONII, DEFF60 and ShotbunGullet. Driven by their shared love for the old aesthetics of 2000’s digital media, these artists want to bring the live element back to the forefront of the Leeds electronic music scene.

Inspired by the late-night electronic DJ scene, we seek to emulate the same environment, replacing the old image of one person and their decks with an active looking stage full of musicians creating the same electrifying feeling.

The main focus of the night will be TONII’s set, creating the visual aspects around her established brand of 2000’s electronic media. With this we aim to market the evening to bring the artists’ fanbase along with using the support acts to create new fans of their unique musical expression.
