LIVE MUSIC FROM:

Yossari Baby

Manchester-based shapeshifters Yossarians make a synth-driven excursion with Yossari Baby – an electro post punk/new wave three piece formed by request for the Manchester mafia during the silent pandemic late hours of the White Hotel. Notorious for their live shows, members Tim Schiazza (Yossarians), Mark Javin (DUDS, Starlight Magic Hour) and Lucie Forest – a French fashion designer – meld big electronic beats and dirty guitars with a slight melody from the resident Mannequin de Marseille.

Yossari Baby’s debut album Inferiority Complex makes you want to dance whilst simultaneously cynically reflecting on the changing nature of the city – from its struggling inhabitants, to the contractors of its fate.The album is about people learning to live in the shadows of a rising skyline, and how we can live with each other’s opinions of the city’s ever-changing landscape. It’s about finding love in a world of false advertisements. It’s about nudity and architecture. It’s a party – an apocalyptic disco.

“By turns funny, angry and arch, Yossari Baby sound vibrantly alive” – The Quietus (album of the month)

YOBS

YOBS release their self-titled debut album in 2024 via Fuzz Club, arriving off the back of their debut double single, 'Fortune Teller b/w Cemetery Man', which saw the four-piece burst on the scene n a gloriously scuzzy and hedonistic blaze. "All skull-crushing riffs and hallucinogenic effects", as Clash Magazine wrote, YOBS deal in primitive garage-punk/noise-rock salvos that race by with a bludgeoning intensity. Across the album's ten tracks and rapid 26-minute running time, the band revel in an abrasive, fun-as-hell rock'n'roll that will leave your bones rattling just as much as your speakers.

Leeds/London indie-folk band Jeanine come to Hyde Park Book Club in February with support from Changeling and White Sugar Machine.

Jeanine is a 3-piece indie group based between London and Leeds, characterised by their evocative storytelling and unique fusion of folk and rock with influences from jazz and blues. Their artistry is comparable to modern indie artists, such as: King Krule, English Teacher and Westside Cowboy.

The band members: Louis, Oscar & Will, bonded over their love of performing live and began to write music that combined all of their individual musical influences. In particular, their lyrical content draws inspiration from the timeless artistry of Bob Dylan and Elliott Smith. Their songs combine modernist themes with contemporary adaptations of folk pioneers to create a distinctive and authentic voice that bridges between the past and present.

Performing live will always be a key aspect of jeanine’s artistry. They have played countless independent music venues in major cities across the UK for a mixture of headline and support shows. A notable performance would be their EP Launch party, marking the release of Back Home in May of 2025.

Having carved out their name as jazz subversives amongst the exploding UK scene, Ebi Soda are returning to a “more DIY approach - except on a bigger scale.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

Please Please You Presents…

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).

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.

Their funk-fuelled repertoire is wildly eclectic, ranging from New Orleans-inspired swing to heavy rock riffs, and since their beginnings in the ratty alleyways of London’s Soho, the band has evolved into a wild groove machine.

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.

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’.”

Futuresound Events Presents…

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.

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 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

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.
