Tara Clerkin Trio

Tara Clerkin Trio

26 Jun 2026 - 28 Oct 2026

Bristol-based experimental band known for blending trip-hop, jazz, chamber-pop, and psychedelia with a "warm," "textured," and "deliberately lo-fi" aesthetic.
Third House + Luna Rosa + Pasteboard Masks
An intense entry into the GTI annals, featuring a record launch from Third House, a heavy wired goth-punk trio featuring The Baron Of Bleak, Umair Chaudry (Silent Weapon), and friend of GTI Al Kenny. Also on the bill are Corby's twitchy epic rockers Luna Rosa, and the oddball art pop of new act Pasteboard Masks. See www.gappytooth.com for more info in the weeks leading up to the gig, or use the contact box on the site to ask any questions. Also, find us on Facebook and Instagram, should that tickle your digital fancy. DON'T BE AN ARSE Our gigs are often highly eclectic, so there might be a wide variety of punters in our little venue. We want everyone to have a good time, so relax, express yourself and have a good gig, but be thoughtful of other people and don't ruin their night with your fun. Basically, just be considerate and nice, and everyone will be happy. Naturally, anyone who is actively aggressive, or who abuses anyone else on the grounds of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, Monster Munch flavour preference, or whatever the hell else might make a bigot irrationally angry, is out the door. WE'LL DO OUR BEST TOO In return, we'll make every effort to create a warm and pleasant environment, and we'll try our hardest to keep to the timetable (music starts at approximately 20.20, and will go on till about 22.35). Also, we've kept the door price as low as we can, but rest assured that GTI is a non-profit event, and all the money after expenses goes to the performers. ACCESSIBILITY NOTE Our venue is a smallish, relatively simple room, but it is at ground level, and so should be accessible to most people (although there is no accessible toilet). We will also have some chairs available if standing for the duration might be a challenge. We are also able to admit under-18s, though anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. There is no dedicated parking at the venue.
