15 May 2025 - 3 Oct 2025

Peter and the Test Tube Babies are a punk rock band that was formed in the small town of Peacehaven, England in 1978 by Del Strangefish and Peter Bywaters. Due to their humorous tongue-in-cheek lyrics, they have been considered part of the Punk Pathetique subgenre. Peter and the Test Tube Babies were first featured in Sounds magazine in July 1980, and after a John Peel Radio One session, made their vinyl debut on the Brighton compilation album Vaultage 78. They also had two songs on the seminal Oi! compilation Oi! the Album in that same year. They favoured absurd lyrics and strange titles, such as "The Queen Gives Good Blow Jobs". In 1982, they covered the chart-topping Gary Glitter hit "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)" on their album Pissed and Proud.

Robert Vincent is one of the most acclaimed new voices on the Americana music scene.

After meeting Whispering Bob Harris at an event called ‘Bluebird at the Bluecoat’ that brought the concept of the bluebird cafe in Nashville to The Bluecoat Chambers in Liverpool, the legendary radio presenter invited Robert to perform a live session on his Radio 2 show and in 2016 awarded him with his ‘Emerging Artist’ of the year award at the inaugural UK Americana Awards show in Hackney London. In 2018 his Sophomore album ‘I’ll Make the Most of my Sins’ was named UK Americana Album of the Year.

In February of 2018 Robert was invited to perform on the BBC ‘Old Grey Whistle Test, For One Night Only’ closing the show. It was this performance that would propel him to number 1 and 2 in the iTunes Album and Singles Charts. Robert's latest release ‘In this Town You’re Owned' charted at number 2 in the UK Americana Charts been critically praised both in the UK and Europe and USA. At the midway point of the year American Songwriter Magazine named ‘In this Town You’re Owned’ in its top 20 albums (every genre) of 2020 to date. ‘In This Town You’re Owned’ has also picked up Americana Music Association UK Album & Artist of The Year 2021, plus Americana UK Album & Artist of the Year 2020.

Peter Bruntnell

Peter Bruntnell

9 May 2025 - 10 Jun 2025

The singer-songwriter performs his original material. Rolling Stone once declared Peter Bruntnell to be, “one of England's best kept musical secrets”. England has successfully managed to keep Peter Bruntnell a secret for all this time, even from itself. “Maybe this will be the album to finally give him the worldwide superstar recognition he deserves!”, enthused every other Peter Bruntnell album review from the last 20+ years, with an admirably unwavering optimism. “If we lived in a just world, Peter Bruntnell would by now be in the middle of his third or fourth global arena tour, his biggest worry working out how to courier his latest armful of Grammy awards back to the UK so his butler could have them installed in the west wing of mansion by the time he got home,” said a feature in The Guardian in 2016, intent on letting the cat out of the bag, but failing miserably. Needless to say, we don’t live in a just world and Peter Bruntnell is still having to get by without a butler.

Needless to say, we don’t live in a just world and Peter Bruntnell is still having to get by without a butler. Not even 2021’s primarily solo, slightly synthy lockdown album Journey To The Sun succeeded in putting an end to Peter's non-success, despite Mojo echoing the plea that, “Somehow, some way, this cult and infinitely class songwriter must get his due wider recognition”. The Scottish Daily Express with its 5 star review, slightly frustrated, said, or perhaps yelled, “I’m getting tired of saying this: He’s brilliant”. The Irish Times thoughtfully combined two quotes into one, saving us the trouble of going back and getting crushed under the sheer weight of Peter’s archive of press quotes: “With Journey To The Sun, the man whose songs NME once noted should be placed on school curriculums has done it again.” And he continues to do so. Peter’s forthcoming new album, Houdini And The Sucker Punch will do little to dispel this fantasy of world domination, but it remains unlikely to become in any way a reality. He will remain the secret singer-songwriter, lauded by the likes of Rumer, Son Volt/Uncle Tupelo's Jay Farrar, Kathleen Edwards, Richmond Fontaine/The Delines' Willy Vlautin, Kurt Wagner of Lampchop and various members of R.E.M.

Sound of The Sirens

23 May 2025 - 5 Dec 2025

Exeter-based duo Abbe Martin and Hannah Wood dovetail beautifully on their debut album, For All Our Sins, a beguiling acoustic pop collection replete with lyrical sensibility on tracks like the first single, Smokescreen (“Living beyond the darkness others create for us, and growing into something positive”), The Circus (“When everyone wants something from you, who can you trust?”) and Mr Wilson (“The chemistry of a new relationship, unsure of where it is going, but knowing that you want more from it”). Already championed by Chris Evans – who declared himself “blown away” when he heard Sound of the Sirens for the first time – they’re certain to broaden a burgeoning fan base on the back of For All Our Sins. It’s a fan base built up not just over several sublime EP self-releases – but also through their live shows, which combine a natural facility for connecting with their audiences and unforgettable performances predicated on energy, warmth, humour and, above all, real conviction.

The band's early releases were on the legendary Rough Trade Label before signing with Virgin offshoot Din Disc.

Though The Monochrome Set split in 1985 the next decade saw several reunions for both live gigs and further studio recordings.

Adrian Crowley

Adrian Crowley

3 Jun 2025 - 4 Jun 2025

One stormy night in Ireland, Adrian Crowley's brother brought home a wounded crow. After taking care of it for a time, the crow flew away on its own, leaving an impression behind: Crowley wrote a story, which would later become the aptly titled Crow Song on this, his brand new record & ninth studio album The Watchful Eye of the Stars. He sings, And I was joyous for you, but shattered none-the-less. Suffused with a hazy and surreal quality, Crowley describes Watchful Eye's poignant narratives as those which insisted themselves upon him. After the fact, it seemed these songs came to him more or less fully formed. It's a beautiful and mysterious thing, he says. Perhaps it is a tendency to hold onto memories (It's taken me so long to write to you / Well I just couldnt find a pen, he laments in Bread and Wine), that allows him to unleash them lyrically in completion. For Crowley, the creative process is an organic event rather than a practice he feels compelled to regulate or control. He approaches lyrics much like he does short story writing. The songs straddle the conscious and subconscious world and some are even psychedelic in my mind, but to me they are all at once true stories and born of another place, he shares. In making the album, Crowley moved between studio and at home recording, while John Parish (Aldous Harding, PJ Harvey) produced. The pair worked from tracks made initially by Crowley on a charity shop ¾ size nylon string guitar or Mellotron: In this way, John wanted to keep some of the magic of that first take, says Crowley. Contradictions and complexities are left intact, initial recordings were limited to one or two takes, and the songs feel more like a dream recounted upon waking.

'Heart On My Sleeve' brings together Attila's collected poems and lyrics, celebrating the fortieth anniversary of his first appearance and a lifetime doing what he loves. All his early political punk poetry classics are here, the likes of 'A Bang And A Wimpy', 'Russians In The DHSS' and 'Contributory Negligence', alongside more recent favourites such as 'Asylum-Seeking Daleks', 'Poison Pensioner' and 'The Bible According to Rupert Murdoch'. This collection is testimony to Attila's broadening work over the years, packed full of intensely personal pieces alongside political satire and humour. 'Never Too Late', explores his reconciliation with his stepfather after thirty-seven years (as featured on Radio 3's 'The Verb' and Steve Lamacq's 6Music show), whilst listeners to Radio 4's'Poetry Please' may recall 'The Long Goodbye', the epic, fourteen minute poem to Attila's mother as she battled Alzheimer's Disease, which was twice broadcast on the show. Recent poems written during the first lockdown are included too.

A legend of the international spoken word circuit, a long established Glastonbury regular, much loved at Brighton And Hove Albion Football Club, co organiser of Glastonwick popular beer and music festival, Attila The Stockbroker remains as focussed and active as ever, and continues to perform to audiences across the world, including a run of successful recent online lockdown shows. His message remains a simple one: you don't need to be 'a celebrity' to lead a life earning your living doing what you love to do. You just need a way with words, the self-confidence and organisational ability of Napoleon and skin thicker than the armour of a Chieftain tank. Heart On My Sleeve will be available at the gig along with Attila's earlier works. If you want a copy before then you can get one direct from Attila at attilathestockbroker.bandcamp.com or in any self-respecting bookshop.

Mumble Tide

6 May 2025 - 9 Nov 2025

Mumble Tide are a Bristol duo-come-couple who met through Gumtree. Gina Leonard put in an advert for a bassist to which cartoon-obsessed Ryan Rogers responded to. Together from their bedroom in Bristol, they make music that represents the freedom they feel around each other. As displayed on the recently acclaimed single "Sucker", nothing is too silly, nothing is too corny - Mumble Tide is a judgement free zone. They throw together the 90s guitar-hooks of their childhood, Leonard's sugar-sweet vocals and Rainbow-Road-esque synths all the while Furbs the Furby nods approvingly from her pedestal in the room's centre. The snarly single "Sucker" - the first in a host of new music for 2021 - is chaotic and endearingly vengeful, Leonard flicking the 'V' as she sings "so long, so long, sucker" over blistering, garage-infused guitars. It follows their debut EP "Love Thing" which saw Lauren Lavern, Steve Lamacq and tastemaker blogs come aboard the Mumble bandwagon. An entirely self-constructed world, Mumble Tide produce, make their own videos and make their own artwork and announced their entry to the live circuit with sold out shows in Bristol and London.

The Space Agency Formed in Hove in 2002, The Space Agency are well known to attendees at Endless Summer shows, as well as throughout the surf-instrumental world. They bring a unique blend of Mosrite-driven Eleki and Surf, powered by their galactic guitars and six string bass. The Tridents You will have found it hard to miss The Tridents lately, but if you have somehow not managed to catch one of their terrific shows, you should expect raucous instrumentals, groovy murder ballads and spaghetti western extravaganza. Oh... and there will be whistling.

You've heard of the Punk Sunday Lunch Here comes the Rock'n'Roll Sunday Lunch. WitchDoktors Formed in 1992 they have long established themselves as one of the UK's greatest ever Garage Punk bands. A 5 Year residency at Soho's 12 Bar Club in London and hundreds of live performances across the country and overseas has seen them rise from underground villains of rock'n'roll to legitimate hoodlums of guitar fuelled chaos! The missing link between rockabilly, blues, 70's punk and 60's garage. Dirty RocknRoll with a skank... if you get the drift... Mad Daddy A four piece band of misfits, polluting the airwaves of the Isle of Man and beyond with their high octane rock'n'roll punk blues since 2015. To be avoided at all costs. Officially endorsed by the Lone Wolf Blues Company, Louisiana U.S.A. The Noir Mates David Bowie, Tom Waits, The Doors, a darkly voyeuristic journey and a little bit glam.

Greg Freeman thrives on finding emotional catharsis and present-day resonance in the eccentric ugliness of the past. His songs all have a palpable sense of place thanks to his urgent delivery and evocative lyricism, which mines history for character-driven tales of violence, loss, and epiphany.

20 Aug 2025 - 20 Aug 2025

Dlina Volny is a trio originally from Minsk, Belarus, now based in Warsaw and London. The band melds Eastern European post-punk with Western darkwave, crafting a moody, introspective sound driven by haunting vocals that feels both nostalgically familiar and distinctly modern. “Dazed” LP was the first album they released on Italians Do It Betterin 2021. It was mixed by Dean Hurley and mastered by Mike Bozzi. The band has established a strong presence in Europe, the UK, and Mexico, performing at festivals like ESNS, Kalabalik på Tyrolen, and Grauzone. Their new LP, set for release in spring 2025, promises a darker and more assertive sound, melding elements of dark pop, EBM, and cold wave. PITCHFORK: “Perhaps you’ve been waiting for someone to put you onto Belarusian post-punk trio Dlina Volny, whose Molchat Doma-esque sense of ennui is the perfect match for the American Life track “Hollywood” CLASH: "New album 'Dazed' was released a few hours ago, a crystalline, inviting document of sub-zero electronics. Already becoming a cult favourite, Dlina Volny have also ushered out a new video on the web. Stripped from the album, 'Do It' revolves around that motorik pulse, utilising analogue synths and swooping, post-punk bass lines." Presented by Gotobeat Ltd. This is an 18+ event

In 1973 Lenny Kaye released a compilation LP called Nuggets, immortalising previously unknown bands from the Sixties garage band heyday. In 2005, Rhino updated the concept with Children of Nuggets, a gem of an album collating the second, third and fourth wave of psychedelic bands from the 70s to the 90s on beloved labels like Creation and Flying Nun. Like a good-looking Mummy reclining in a golden sarcophagus, psych-pop refuses to die and comes back each time with better hair and a new book of spells and potions. Dreamytime Escorts herald another wave of Neo-Nuggets pop combining the 'snap of The Jam, the railroad clatter of Creedence and the whisky-bar mysticism of the Doors. In summer 2025, the band release their debut EP, "This Ocean We're Dancing Upon". The record is officially launched at The Prince Albert on 25th July, where the band will be playing cuts from the EP including favourites, Psychic Lemon Sundae, Chorus of Angels and the eponymous title track. https://www.facebook.com/Dreamytimes/ SHARK CITY MAYORS Shark City Mayors are a four-piece, alt-rock, post punk and goth influenced, guitar band from Brighton. https://www.facebook.com/p/Shark-City-Mayors-100087942072887/ MAGIC BROTHER Magic Brother are a London & Brighton based band fusing guitar, synth & flute, psychedelic rock, alternative, and 60s garage sounds.

Oyama + Special Guests

Oyama + Special Guests

30 Sept 2025 - 30 Sept 2025

Oyama is a five-piece shoegaze/indie collective from Reykjavík who has just released their second full-length album Everyone Left, which finds Oyama strikes a balance between elusive reality and tangible dreams. Their new album has a contemplative vibe and shares thematic threads with its predecessor.; their idiosyncratic songwriting earning recognition from leading music media. As KEXP's Jim Beckmann noted, "Sharing a name with the relatively small Japanese central city, \[the band\] has grown into a sonic metropolis of multiple influences, from psychedelic to ambient." Featuring guitarist Alison MacNeil from cult Icelandic-Canadian math rock unit Kimono, Oyama creates a sound that combines a steady urban pulse with serenity, and with guitar delay causing ripples on the sonic pond, their sound is truly immersive. Tracks were recorded at Sundlaugin studio of Sigur Rós and mixed by Árni Hjörvar Árnason (The Vaccines). Presented by Melting Vinyl. This is an 18+ event
