Norman Blake + Adam Ross + Robin Ince
A very special night for the launch of Adam Ross' most recent solo album Bring On Your Apathy, with friends Norman Blake and Robin Ince. Norman Blake is best known as the guitarist, vocalist, and co-founder of the celebrated Scottish alternative rock band Teenage Fanclub, though he's also amassed an impressive resume of side projects. During his downtime from Teenage Fanclub, Norman Blake often busied himself with a wide range of collaborations and side projects. In tandem with Euros Childs of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, he formed the group Jonny. With Eugene Kelly of the Vaselines and Eugenius, Blake recorded as the Famous Monsters. Francis MacDonald, Blake's BMX Bandits and Teenage Fanclub bandmate who has also worked with Belle and Sebastian, has performed with Blake under the moniker Frank Blake. After moving to Canada in 2009, Blake started writing songs with Joe Pernice of the Pernice Brothers, and the two recorded and toured as the New Mendicants. And Blake has enjoyed an especially fruitful partnership with Jad Fair of the legendary lo-fi group Half Japanese. In addition to Teenage Fanclub cutting an album with Fair, Blake and Fair teamed up for a 2015 duo album, Yes, and Fair, Blake, and the Japanese group Tenniscoats joined forces for two albums together, 2014's How Many Glasgow and 2017's Raindrops. Adam Ross is an indie-folk songwriter based in north-east Scotland. He is a solo artist and has also led the cult indie band Randolph's Leap for over a decade, releasing music with legendary Fife label Fence Records and Lost Map as well as Olive Grove Records and Fika Recordings. He is known for his unique brand of articulate lyricism which blends humour, poignancy, wordplay and offbeat stories. Adam released a debut solo album Staring At Mountains in 2022 which was followed by the 2024 release of a critically acclaimed second solo album, Littoral Zone, produced by multiple Scottish Album Of The Year Award nominated composer and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Wasylyk. The album further cemented Adam's status as one of the country's most original songwriters. He released a standalone synth-pop single Drink The First Light featuring C. Duncan in 2025 and Adam's third album is due out in 2026. Robin Ince is many things. A multi award winning comedian, author, broadcaster, bibliomaniac and a populariser of scientific ideas. He is perhaps best known as the former co-host and co-creator of the Sony Gold Award winning BBC Radio 4 series The Infinite Monkey Cage with Professor Brian Cox. As a stand up Robin has toured the world and as an author he has written four acclaimed books, including Bibliomaniac, earned him the prestigious Booksellers Association Author of the Year award. His fifth, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal is published in May 2025. He co-created the Cosmic Shambles Network and created the groundbreaking science variety night Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People which has been adapted worldwide. He has received an Honorary Fellowship of UCL, an honorary doctorate from Royal Holloway College (University of London), and is a fellow of the British Science Association.
Honky-Tonkin' with George & his New Heartaches (USA/DE)

Featuring country-style fiddling, swinging twin electric guitar riffs, a shuffling string bass and rhythm guitar, and cutting high lonesome vocal harmonies, this band knows how a good country song should sound.Led by George Aschmann, a fiddler and singer from Shenandoah County, VA, this band regularly hosts two-step/swing dance parties in Berlin's dancehalls. These boys will break your heart and scuff your dancing boots! Catch them for a rare visit to the UK.

New Roots: Dan Raza / Trent Miller

29 Apr 2026 - 29 Apr 2026

Doors open 7.30 pm, music from 8.15 pm sharp. Nearest tube station Kings Cross, 8 minutes walk. Plucked while still a student to tour with Joan Armatrading, and championed by Neil Young on his Living With War website, Dan Raza has spent the first chapter of his career weaving folk troubadour magic around the clubs and halls of the UK and Europe while quietly building a reputation as one of the UK's best-kept musical secrets. With three critically-acclaimed albums under his belt, the singer-songwriter, whose roots lie in folk, Americana and lyrical pop balladry, has won support along the way from some of the biggest names in folk music, such as Rodney Crowell (great voice and fine arranging sensibilities), Tom Paxton (killer songs) and John McCutcheon (one of my favourite discoveries of recent years), and has long been tipped for wider mainstream recognition. The 12 tracks on Raza's new album Wayfarer are delivered in his trademark husky soul-laden voice which, at times, has been compared to singers such as Nick Drake, Mike Scott of the Waterboys and Ray LaMontagne. The record features a stellar cast of UK musicians including Adam Phillips on guitar (Richard Ashcroft), Geraint Watkins on keys (Van Morrison) and Luke Bullen (KT Tunstall) on drums. In addition, the album also continues Raza's long-term collaboration with members of Slim Chance, the band Ronnie Lane founded in the 1970s after leaving The Faces. . Dan Raza is one of my favourite discoveries of recent years. His instinctive way of telling a story in his songs that is both personal and universal at once is what first caught my eye. Then his ability to do just the right guitar part, a seductive melody, and heart-filled deliverywell, you just dont see it all come together so well very often. His songs have heart and teeth, my favourite combo. John McCutcheon The real deal Huey Morgan, BBC Radio 2 A writer who has matured into one of this country's finest Country Music Magazine Killer songs Tom Paxton A songwriter of exceptional talent. Rachel Devine, Folk Radio UK Seven years on from the release of Time Between Us, London songwriter Trent Miller returns with his fifth album. Summer Was Cold That Year, recorded at Rogue Studios in London between 2019 and 2024. Produced and arranged by Graham Knight (Simple Kid / Orphan Colours), the album also features guitarist Fed Abbott (Noah And The Whale, Jamie Lawson, Tom Chaplin, Cassyette, Charlotte OC, Jeremy Loops, Megan McKenna), and drummer Steve Brookes (Danny and the Champions of the World). Carrying with him the dual influence of the Beats and darkly troubled songwriters like Gene Clark, Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Thin White Rope's Guy Kyser, Miller's new album offers a hopeful glimmer on the horizon, a new maturity in songwriting, and a more refined and pop-oriented sound. 'Fans of Gene Clark, Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark will recognise a kindred spirit in his glowering meditations and steely worldview Daily Mirror A darkly underground mix of hangovers, anguished love, mournful blues and lonesome country.
