Swell

Swell return to London for their first show here in over 16 years. It is safe to say no band sounds quite like Swell and two of the original members, Sean Kirkpatrick and John Dettman Lytle are hitting the road with two newer members Philippe Gunst and Tim Adams to tie in with the reissue of the band's mesmerizing second album ...Well? which was originally released on Beggars Banquet and Virgin records throughout Europe where they toured often including headline slots at Dingwalls and European festivals. Following the passing of David Freel Swell did a very successful European tour that found out a lot of fans still cared with Johan and Phillip from post punk band Fragment finishing off the line up. This will be the smallest London show the band has ever played.

SE x EC1
Nov

SE x EC1

Welcome one and all to the glorious sound of the Thames Delta, coming at you live and direct from Southend-on-Sea - albeit in the middle of London.

First up, garage indie rockers Invaders give forth a sound that is made from 4 cups of estuary mud, a large measurement of swagger and a heavy helping of groove.

After a nerve-calming pint or three, you’ll be ready for Permanent Firmament to take the stage - Southend alumni playing songs by the Cusack/Son Of Buff/Adjustment songwriter Lance Baldock, with a sound that sips from the early Fannies, sludgy Neil Young cup with a dollop of indie-powerpop and shades of early Wilco.

You’re probably on the spirits by now but Dark Globes bring their melodically driven noise-pop, lo-fi garage rock, and folk-pop infused with gentle psychedelic rock and ringing guitars.

Finally - if you are still with us - The Bromides are a London-based (but big in Southend!) alternative noise-pop and garage rock band fronted by singer, guitarist, and Scratchy Records founder Simon Berridge, who also performs as Simon Bromide.

Nashville Babylon Presents Angela Autumn

Nashville Babylon Presents Angela Autumn

Angela Autumn has always been drawn to the mountains. Raised in the Appalachian region of western Pennsylvania, she channels that landscape in her voice, funneling the timeless influence of mountain streams and rolling foothills into her genre-bending folksongs. With her second album, though, she proves she's every bit as interested in the modern age as tradition. Believer is a musical melting pot of a record, blending the mountain music of Autumn's past with the hybridized sounds (including indie, psychedelia, pop, and gothic country) of her present. Audiences still call her "The Rose of Appalachia" — a nickname that nods to the Allegheny roots and clawhammer banjo skills that helped her blossom into a critically-beloved solo artist — but Believer showcases the other flowers in her garden, making room for keyboards, cello, and billowing clouds of reverb. The result is an eclectic record that captures Autumn in full bloom, pushing beyond the primitive twang of her Appalachian influences to chase down a cross-pollinated sound of her own making.

Duncan Maitland is a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and engineer known for his melodious, soft psych songwriting. This is the launch for his long-awaited second album, ‘Chamberling’, the follow up to his much loved 2010 album Lullabies for the 21st Century.

Sairie + Roger Kunkel & Stoo Odom + Simon Breed

Clerkenville East-West presents an evening of entrancing and extraordinary music. We have the London launch of the debut album by Brighton-based ethereal folk trio Sairie, from the US - Roger Kunkel + Stoo Odom - formerly of mighty acid/ Paisley/ desert rockers Thin White Rope, and gripping London singer-songwriter Simon Breed.

After releasing a series of captivating singles and EPs since 2020, SAIRIE launch their first full-length album, ‘Beneath the Spreading Tree’. It continues the trio's exploration of early 70’s folk influences, blending otherworldly atmospherics with stripped-back arrangements. In a four star review, The Guardian heralded its "glistening psych-folk...Singer Emma Morton brings an indie-girl chorister’s brightness to this captivating debut album, on songs with hints of darkness that sound ages-old". While KLOF Magazine wrote: "Sairie’s long-awaited debut sounds like a lo-fi Pentangle with an added layer of hauntological strangeness...This ageless-sounding debut is stark in its beauty and richly rewarding."
https://sairie.bandcamp.com/

"80% improvised guitar and bass duo" ROGER KUNKEL & STOO ODOM were members of much lauded Californian rock band Thin White Rope, touring the world, appearing on MTV, and having breakfast and puking with Nirvana. The sound was best described as Johnny Cash meets Black Sabbath...but then there were Duke Ellington and Krautrock influences. Last year saw the two reunite to create the LP 'Here Comes the Space Cow'. Performing together in the UK for the first time since TWR disbanded in 1992, Kunkel & Odom highlight their new EP 'Sniffing Spirits', and promise to sweep you up in a musical maelstrom with just upright bass, guitar, and vocals.
https://odom-kunkel.bandcamp.com/

SIMON BREED last appeared at Clerkenville East-West performing at a celebration of the late great David McComb, on what would've been the frontman of The Triffids' 60th birthday - indeed, he toured with the Australian band as guest vocalist at their 2010 and 2016 reunion shows. A unique and intense singer songwriter, Simon presents a set of towering and unsettling new songs.

Steve Wynn + Bones of the City

After selling out his matinee at the Betsey Trotwood, American alternative music icon Steve Wynn joins us for a very special evening show, as we celebrate what would've been the 70th birthday of punk/ Aussie rock legend Chris Bailey of The Saints.
Live music from 7.30pm and we hope to be wrapped by 10pm.

One of the founding fathers of US indie/ college rock with seminal guitar heroes The Dream Syndicate, STEVE WYNN has released an acclaimed body of work over a career spanning more than 45 years. He will be taking us for an electrifying ride through his back catalogue, and who knows, maybe one or two surprises.
https://www.stevewynn.net/

Kicking off the evening with a bang, South London punk band BONES OF THE CITY help us commemorate one of our all-time fave artists - Chris Bailey - with a set of classics by The Saints. Formed on the banks of Deptford Creek, Bones of the City are a coming together of kindred spirits from across the city, who have played in The Saints, The Members, Dealing With Damage, Los Santos, Ruts DC, Wingmen, Desperate Measures and Rebecca Closure.

Tickets Mike Targett Sings Jake Thackray
Dec

Tickets Mike Targett Sings Jake Thackray

POACHERS present songs by the late, largely-long-forgotten English satirist, songwriter and bucolic balladeer, Jake Thackray. Throughout the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, Jake’s songs presciently took aim at what we now know as the ‘alpha-male’, the aristocracy, and just about every aspect of the British establishment. His was the voice of the rural-suburban misfit--half-jester, half-scarecrow.

“Born and raised in a gritty suburb of Leeds…. he sang in a deliciously foggy hoot and looked every inch the handsome rake. Revelling in breathtakingly deft wordplay, he was also a subtle, sophisticated guitarist. A song like the riotous Lah-di-dah harpoons a particular parochial Englishness, but does so with real heart…. [ditto] …. The Black Swan, an exquisitely-orchestrated melancholy break-up song….. Ribald, lovelorn or vicious, Thackray's genius…. can finally be celebrated as offering something immeasurably richer than the diversions of light entertainment.” (The Guardian, review of ‘Jake in a Box’)

This show also marks the release of POACHERS’ frontman Mike Targett’s new album ‘SCALLYWAG – Mike Targett Sings Jake Thackray (Again)’. Expect earthy humour and special guests.

Count Jaakola + Alice Hubble + Basic Design

To celebrate the launch of two new Count Jaakola remixes by Alice Hubble and Basic Design, all acts are getting together to throw a show at The Betsey Trotwood.

Tickets here: www.seetickets.com

Count Jaakola 
Count Jaakola is the solo project of London-based Finnish songwriter Tiia Jaakola. Her debut album Kind Eyes has been championed by BBC 6 Music's Stuart Maconie, The Line of Best Fit, Austria's FM4 and Germany's ByteFM. It's lush DIY pop, where warm keys give way to brooding synths, resolving in the fizz and sparkle of guitars and drums. Count Jaakola, on keys and vocals, is joined live by Paul Rains (Allo Darlin') on guitar, lap steel and drum machine, and Sarah Gonputh (Green Seagull) on bass. 

Alice Hubble
Described as the work of "one lady at home with her enormous collection of synthesisers", Alice Hubble mixes melancholic pop, layered vintage synths and elegant vocals, reminiscent of Ladytron, Ashra and Jane Weaver. She has built a reputation for combining vintage electronics with reflective songwriting. Her albums 'Polarlichter' and 'Hexentanzplatz' received support from The Quietus, Prog Magazine, Under The Radar and BBC 6 Music, with 'Polarlichter' placed at number 12 in Electronic Sound's Best Albums of 2019.

Basic Design
Basic Design is Matt Ashton from London drone pop band The Leaf Library, trading the guitar for synths and drum machines, focusing on the more minimal, beat-driven end of things. He has released one album (Floral Calyx Phase, as part of The Leaf Library's Monuments series) and a number of standalone tracks and remixes. This show is his first live as Basic Design.

BABY YOU’LL LIVE FOREVER

BABY YOU’LL LIVE FOREVER is an unflinching one-woman show that weaves poetry, storytelling and stand-up into a raw act of confession.

At its heart is the obsessive, almost two-decade long entanglement of Seb & Amelia - equal parts intoxicating and destructive.

Amelia revisits the moments that broke her, the patterns that kept her stuck, and the truth she could no longer run from.

What unfolds is a charged, intimate experience where grief collides with laughter, and vulnerability becomes power.

This isn’t just another story about heartbreak...

it’s about breaking the cycle, reclaiming your power and rewriting the ending.

Helen McCookerybook + Robert Rotifer’s Radical Friendship Theory

Helen McCookerybook's songs cover everything from the social impact of new technology to wry observations about relationships. Now a solo guitarist/vocalist influenced by Linda Lewis, Nick Drake and Jake Thackray, her musical journey started as a bass player in a Brighton punk band in the late 1970s. Her previous bands The Chefs and Helen and the Horns were regulars on BBC Radio 1’s John Peel show; nowadays Radio London’s Gary Crowley and BBC6’s Marc Riley and Gideon Coe and play her new music. She has collaborated with Gina Birch, Vic Godard, Lester Square, Robert Rotifer and many more. Her album Showtunes from the Shadows, was released in 2025 on vinyl, CD and download formats on the Tiny Global label: https://helenmcc.bandcamp.com/album/showtunes-from-the-shadows
At this show, she will be playing new songs from her forthcoming album, The Darkside Truth, due to be released on Tiny Global later in 2026.

Robert Rotifer's Radical Friendship Theory
This will be the London live launch of Radical Friendship Theory, a one-off album released on Spinout Nuggets, featuring, amongst others, Robert Rotifer, Helen McCookerybook, Kenji and Ian Button.
Radical Friendship Theory is not a band, it's a set of songs in a wide range of styles, from baroque pop, to psych, from country rock to bookish indie, sung by a circle of friends between Glasgow, Kent, London and southern Spain – a celebration of actual human friendship as a life-saving alternative to a world of fake digital engagement, captive consumption and artificially sown division.

Trimdon Grange Explosion + Shadows Of Stephen
Oct
9

Trimdon Grange Explosion + Shadows Of Stephen

Initially falling together from the ashes of sometimes celebrated electric-folkies The Eighteenth Day Of May back in 2006, Trimdon Grange Explosion have a way of taking their time. Built on the strong friendships of the individuals going way back, their approach to music-making has involved infrequent London based live appearances, but lots of recording, the results offered forward only when necessary.
Their self-titled first album came appeared in CD-R form, but picked up by Feeding Tube/Cardinal Fuzz in 2017, prompting Rolling Stone’s David Fricke to describe them as “arch modernists within their historical domain…like a farm-house Velvet Underground.”

The years following have seen the departure of founding member, viola player Alison Cotton to concentrate on well received solo work, but still appearing on three tracks on the new album Dreams Buried Under The Sea. Alison’s departure preceded the arrival of new member, formidable bassist Ben Reed whose long resume includes work with Frank Ocean, Sampha and Hannah Peel, in addition to making solo records, the most recent being Bandaged on Esoteric in 2023. His arrival frees up original bassist Mark Nicholas to join Ben Phillipson on guitar duties. Phillipson also takes sole charge of vocals, double-tracked and harmonised. Drummer Karl Sabino completes the line-up, also handling most of the recording and production.

Not completely putting their folk tendencies to one side, the album documents a band learning to communicate with the new line-up; a sound that stretches from the Albion Country Band’s pastoral intricacy to Pavement’s lo-fi inscrutability by way of The Rain Parade/Byrdsian school of chiming guitars.

A recent live review in Shindig! (July 2025) noted the “propulsive ride-cymbal-driven drum and bass groove underpins intertwining dual raga-drone guitar lines; when one goes high, the other goes low and vice versa, making for sublime psych-head listening”

Matthew Edwards, Joss Cope and Anton Barbeau

Matthew 'Ted' Edwards has been making compelling music for decades, from his Birmingham roots to his San Francisco home. His second solo record, 'The Small Heath Book of the Dead,' is a homage to the Birmingham neighbourhood he grew up in and will be released by Too Good to be True records on September 4th.


Joss Cope was also born in the Midlands, but made his name in the Liverpool post-punk scene. Branching out into video and film, he's nevertheless stuck to his musical guns and has been a stalwart of indie music scene with his well-crafted tunes and songs.

Anton Barbeau is a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter from Sacramento, California. Left-field tunes and surreal lyrics combine with a shrewd pop sense, and he has collaborated with many fine musicians including The Bevis Frond, XTC's Colin Boulding and several erstwhile members of Robyn Hitchock's band The Soft Boys.

Si Connelly + Suze Harper + Riley Marsh

Si Connelly + Suze Harper + Riley Marsh

Join us at the Betsey Trotwood for UK singer-songwriter Si Connelly's warm up walk and show, before launching His Walking Tour in October.

About the Walking Tour:

One guitar. One backpack. Hundreds of miles. After walking every mile between every tour date. A mammoth 180 miles along the South Coast, singer-songwriter Si Connelly tackles the first route of his Walking Tour, walking from Hasting to Bournemouth and every place in between culminating in a London headline.

A celebration of music, community and the road that brought him here.

Lineup:

Name-checked by Coldplay, SI CONNELLY is emotive, raw and memorable live. A hugely prolific songwriter/lyricist and touring artist, he has drawn comparison to the great Jeff Buckley, and name-checked by Coldplay. "Si Connelly has one of the very best male voices in the UK right now." — Steve Best, Music Republic Magazine

New Zealand born SUZE HARPER was studying for her final year of law school in Paris when she became re-acquainted with her deep musical instinct and passion for live performance. After performing in Parisian jazz clubs and street busking, she honed her original sound in London—melding jazz, soul, blues, pop, and classical, leaving a career in law behind.

Derby based teenage artist RILEY MARSH delivers everything from 90s Alt Rock, to Grunge and Folk. His live performances are passionate, energetic and raw. “I was quite shocked at just how good he was” - Rock News Magazine

Green Seagull + Naomi Randall
Sep
19

Green Seagull + Naomi Randall

Green Seagull are a London, UK based baroque psych pop band, taking influence from the likes of The Left Banke, The Zombies and The Association.

Taking their name from a mis-heard Rolling Stones lyric, Green Seagull are a prominent band on London's burgeoning neo-psych scene. Their harmony-laden baroque/freakbeat and hook-laden, jangly sound is so authentic, it's hard to believe that you're not listening to a lost record from the sixties.

The band formed in 2016 when Paul Nelson (New Electric Ride) approached Paul Milne (Hidden Masters / Magnetic Mind) to work on some songs together. A shared enthusiasm for late-60s baroque psychedelia and 12-string jangle soon blossomed into a prolific songwriting team, and before long the duo had more songs than they knew what to do with.

They were joined shortly after by Sarah Gonputh on keys and Elian Dalmasso on drums, and the newly-minted quartet set about recording a demo in their rehearsal room on an old cassette 4-track.

Also joined by Dan Davies on guitar, the band have since released five 7" singles and two albums on various independent labels, and have been making waves with their embellished pop, gaining support from the likes of Mark Radcliffe, Gideon Coe and Marc Riley on BBC Radio 6 Music.

Onto album number three! Smoke And Mirrors is the next outing for Green Seagull, now with Spinout Nuggets, continuing their baroque psyche pop sound, with eleven tracks, which includes 'Lightning Girl' and '(They're Coming For You) Barbara' which were released on 7" via Disques Rogue in late '22.

Support comes from Naomi Randall, singer with The Thorn, whose golden-voiced folk rock melodies have drawn comparisons with Sandy Denny and Linda Perhacs.
