The band staked out their trademark sound on 2002's Introducing the Hillbilly Moon Explosion, they fully hit their creative stride on 2011's Buy Beg or Steal, and they collaborated with psychobilly veteran Mark "Sparky" Phillips for 2019's The Sparky Sessions.

LYR is author and current British poet laureate Simon Armitage, singer-songwriter Richard Walters, and multi-instrumentalist/producer Patrick Pearson. LYR’s story stretches back to 2009 when Walters, an admirer of Armitage’s extensive body of written work, approached the poet’s publisher about the possibility of collaboration. The result was Walters setting Armitage’s poetry to music in 2011. Realising that their two-part formula had potential to grow, Walters approached musical acquaintance, Pearson, and his joining provided the impetus to create the genre-splicing ‘supergroup’. The three-piece went on to create two critically acclaimed albums, Call In The Crash Team and The Ultraviolet Age. Coming together with focused, blended labour to instrumentalise Armitage’s words and vocal delivery, opposing the tag of ‘spoken word project’ or similar, the band ruminates instead on what aural breakthroughs could only be possible with a non-singing vocalist, gifted singer-songwriter and alchemistic musician-producer. LYR are now a firmly established part of the contemporary music scene, with regular radio airplay across the networks and over five million streams to their name. They have appeared at many major festivals including Green Man and Blu Dot, and sold out events across the UK. Please note that reserved seating is in place for this concert.

Her incredible voice is undeniably made for the stage.

Mamas Gun is a 5-piece band from the UK. Their sound is one that straddles so-called blue eyed soul and the best of soul in the black music tradition. With soul music being the common ground between the 5 members, echoes of artists such as Marvin Gaye, Bobby Caldwell, Bill Withers, Lewis Taylor and Sly Stone can be heard weaving in between the sonic threads of their frequently uplifting and heart rending music. Drummer Chris Boot’s softly-softly but always groovy presence on the drums is perfectly complimented by the warm bouncy James Jamerson-esque bass guitar stylings of Cameron Dawson. Together their sound is intimate, highly musical and questing.  Guitarist Terry Lewis’ deft touch on the guitar adds to the authenticity of the sound. Think percussive Motown style “chanks”, shimmering spring reverb, Cornell Dupree’s chordal fluency and searing Isley Brothers style lead sounds. Dave Oliver’s profound control and connection with keyboard instruments sees him at home with everything from serene jazz piano and crunchy Wurlitzer textures to roaring gospel Hammond and warm vocal-esque synth lines. Sitting atop is the yearning honeyed voice of Andy Platts. Surprisingly reluctant to identify as a singer, his abilities nevertheless able to stir deep emotional reactions from listeners. Names like Marvin Gaye and Daryl Hall are often mentioned but Platts’ really has a unique sound all of his own. Mamas Gun was originally formed by Platts in 2007, and who is also largely responsible for the groups songwriting output.  Running parallel he has enjoyed an illustrious side career as a songwriter has penned hits for Take That, James Morrison and various high profile stars in South Korea and Japan, among many others. Since 2015 he has also been one half of yacht rock duo Young Gun Silver Fox alongside cult musician and producer Shawn Lee, cultivating a major presence in Europe and the United States.  Mamas Gun have issued six albums to date, the latest DIG! featuring a line up completed by keyboardist Dave Oliver, known for being MD for Lisa Stansfield and guitarist Terry Lewis, a well regarded sideman whose credits include Leon Ware, The Impressions and Rumer, both there from Mamas Gun’s inception; bassist Cameron Dawson, known for playing bass for Cinematic Orchestra, Puma Blue and Joy Crookes, who joined for 2014’s third album Cheap Hotel and Chris Boot, whose playing credits include Alice Russell, Nilufer Yanya and Lucy Rose, the group’s drummer since 2018’s fourth album Golden Days.

Waters’ rollicking, honky sax and Achison’s sizzling guitar and vocals offer their unique take across Blues, Rock, Country, Rock, Funky Jazz & Folk, with blistering solos and deep pulsating rhythms.  To quote Queen’s Brian May, “You’re pure evil on that horn, Tom!” whilst Geoff has been compared with the likes of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck & JJ Cale.

It’s a Mystery! A hilarious and moving exploration of the enduring appeal of murder mysteries “I suppose you’re wondering why I’ve gathered you all here this evening.” Tim Benzie, the acclaimed creator and host of Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote presents his now one-man show, a funny and engrossing deep dive into the appeal of murder mysteries. The audience are summoned to the drawing room as Tim takes on the role of detective, examining the clues that drew him to the genre as a child, a journey from Scooby Doo and Encyclopaedia Brown, to German mystery-puzzle books via reading the entire works of Agatha Christie as a teenager. Along the way he draws connections between obsessions with detective films, the TV series Murder, She Wrote and his current Solve-Along show. There is a tenacious theory that in times of societal strife, murder mysteries surge in popularity, and Tim unpacks the notion via stories of his own troubled times, to determine not just why there is a detective in all of us, but ultimately what is the mystery that we’re all trying to solve. Funny, touching and showcasing the delight in pop culture minutiae that has made Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote a cult hit, It’s a Mystery! will appeal to fans of the genre and anyone who’s ever wondered whodunnit (and why). It’s a Mystery! has played to critical acclaim at the 2023 and 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Bread and Roses Theatre London in 2024 and was performed in New York and Australia in 2025.

Brighton’s live music scene is set for a major blues-rock showcase as The Kendall Connection take over the Studio venue at Komedia Brighton for a night of high-energy musicianship, soaring guitar work, and emotionally charged original songs. Spearheaded by frontman guitarist and singer-songwriter Nick Kendall, the band features an all-star lineup of UK session players: Steve Holness (keyboards), Greg Hagger (bass), and Tom Clare (drums). Collectively, they are among the UK’s most in-demand musicians, having performed over the past decade with major names including 10cc, Tony Hadley, Paul Weller, Brian May, Gordon Giltrap and Alice Cooper. With blues-rock at its core, the band’s sound draws from a rich palette of influences — from modern guitar stylists and jazz-rock innovators through to classic rock storytellers and groove-driven roots artists. The result is a dynamic, contemporary sound blending blues, rock, jazz, country and funk into a powerful live experience. Nick Kendall will arrive in Brighton fresh off tour performing as guitarist with Sting in the acclaimed stage production The Last Ship, bringing that tour-honed energy and world-class precision straight to the Komedia stage. Formed in late 2016, the four-piece has released two albums to strong critical praise. Their debut record was hailed by Blues Matters Magazine as “one of the best debut albums this reviewer has heard in a long time.” Their songs showcase crafted musicianship, faultless riffs, and emotive lyrical writing that connects with both dedicated music fans and wider audiences. The band supported Jools Holland on tour, further cementing their reputation as a must-see live act. Kendall is also known to audiences for his performances with rock legends 10cc, as well as with GO NOW!, celebrating the music of The Moody Blues — but this Brighton show puts his original blues-rock project front and centre. Audiences can expect a night of blues-tinted rock, masterful guitar work, tight grooves, and songs that balance technical brilliance with emotional punch.

The result is a playful, soul-laden improvisational body of work that captures Liv.e’s raw vision to reconstructing R&B her way and Karriem’s masterful percussive universe that spans jazz improvisation and beat-making alchemy.

Always held on a Monday and always Manic. They said no-one comes out on a Monday but we have proved them wrong. Our show is irreverent and great fun and the best excuse to enjoy yourself on a school night.

Ashley Slater, UK funk and jazz legend, is back with a brand new band to wow you. This six-piece powerhouse is built around blistering Czech Hammond wizard Jan Korinek and drum star Oli Lipenský, joined by Ashley on trombone and vocals, Filthy Six trumpeter Nick Etwell, Brighton tenor hero Julian Nicholas, and the hardest-working baritone in showbiz, Nichola Pope. You’ll know Ashley from Loose Tubes, Microgroove, Freak Power, Big Lounge and Kitten and The Hip. After accidentally emigrating to Germany five years ago, he’s thrilled to return with this shiny new sonic gem. Think Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker, but with more mischief. Or as Ashley puts it: Gerry Mulligan with better drugs. Expect tunes from Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Benny Golson, Grace Jones, Freak Power and Big Lounge, plus originals. Bring your voice, and maybe some spoons.
