TONIGHT Clare Bucks presents ‘an evening of songs resulting from an awful year, alchemised into magic, empowerment and truth. Come as you are, leave uplifted.

Combine this with a live Q & A and support from the Kosmic Troubadour and Callum Kershaw... And there you have a night of sparkle, shine and real human connection that will leave you inspired and revived.

Clare is a self-produced singer songwriter from Essex and has been releasing music since 2024. Search Spotify and Insta to satisfy your need for knowledge and vibes 80s-Style Synth Pop 💖 Singer, Songwriter & Producer

Parasiite – Headlining the night is Parasiite – Classic hard rock grunge band producing banger after banger in a manner Pearl Jam would be proud of. Parasiite’s depth of sound and massive debut album demands respect on the London underground scene.

Hamish the Brave – Imagine a tone deaf Geography teacher shouting semi-political rants while a pitch perfect drummer winces from behind. Well, Hamish the Brave is a fuzzy little two-piece setting out to prove that less is more, more or less.

Guym – People use the term ‘genre-defying’ a lot these days but go listen to The Frogurt is Also Cursed’ and you’ll see what I mean. ‘Good’ is the only accurate descriptor I can use. Guym is a two-piece band from South London blending different elements of alternative rock with sharp, gritty vocals, pounding drums and crunchy riffs. With a sound that pulls from punk, noise-rock and emo influences, GUYM captures a sense of urgency and catharsis in their music.
See you in the pit.

TONIGHT… Non Canon celebrates the 10th anniversary of his debut album with an all-seated show at Aces & Eights.
Originally released by Xtra Mile Recordings (Frank Turner, Will Varley, Beans on Toast) the album will be reissued in a super limited custom gatefold sleeve on 180g pink marble vinyl, available from noncanon.bandcamp.com
Non Canon is the indiefolk alter-ego of Bristol songwriter Barry Dolan (he/him). Starting as a tentative side project away from playing big noisy riffs as Oxygen Thief, this diversion from his usual writing habits made Dolan’s poetic lyrics increasingly precise and personal, with his intimate guitar playing embellished by a string section and piano.
Non Canon is for fans of Idlewild/Roddy Woomble, Tim Kasher, Bright Eyes, and that bit at Manic Street Preachers gigs where James Dean Bradfield plays some acoustic songs on his own.
Supporting we have the excellent Sundaughter and Biting Fauna! Expect a night of indie folk punk wonders!

This year her shows ‘Kiss Me x’ [★★★★★ Broadway World – ‘Funny, clever, musically impressive and genuinely heartfelt’ ] and ‘Mothman: A Romance Musical’ (co-written with Nikola McMutrie) [★★★★½ Chortle – ‘Everything you could ever need out of an Edinburgh show’] were smash hits at Edinburgh Fringe, winning her the Binge Fringe Q***r Performer Award, along with nominations for ISH Awards Best Show, Brighton Fringe New Writing, and Neurodiverse Comedy Awards. Alex has also somehow accrued 80k+ followers and 20 million views across Tiktok/ Instagram. She also has a nice smile :) 

Alex Prescot is a musical comic who often improvises off crowd work.

WEDNESDAY 28TH OCTOBER! “Kate Sharp (me) is incredibly lazy . Like I will get on a lime for the 200 meters from house to station. It costs me £1 and honestly guys I don’t regret telling you all that. Now I’ve decided that I am gonna write a 60 minute comedy show. So I needs a low level threat like people are buying tickets and will come so I cannot appear at this show with nothing done threat. This show is very much going to be NEW material. Like newborn in sack still type new. You may laugh. You may cry. And hopefully someone learns something about themselves. Fingers crossed it is me. Also lads it is 60 minutes. That is like going half way to Paris on the Eurostar. Super quick and possibly painless.”
