In the Upstairs Bar:
It's Her Factory Presents... BEAU BOWEN
Beau Bowen return to the Trades with their new show, a Halloween Special!
If you’re looking for something punchy, neoclassical, and semi-abstract, and that leans toward strong musical flavours, you can’t go amiss with the avant-garde duo BEAU BOWEN.

If you’re a fan of Sparks, perhaps with some of the supernatural essence of Björk you’ll be a little closer to embracing the beauty & variety of the BEAU BOWEN sound. It is a sound that you will want to hear again and again - this music invites intimacy.

⭐️TONIGHT⭐️

In the main hall:
She17 take over! Check out the fantastic line-up below:

-Dead Horse a London/Kent noise-garage/post-punk four piece made up of Kevin Lennon (vocals/sax/synth), Josh Kemp (guitar), Alex Avis (bass) and Duncan Clark (drums). Blending jagged riffs, mutant surf lines, deranged sax bursts and absurdist lyrics, the band sit somewhere between garage-punk chaos, post-punk satire and theatrical collapse.

-Ich bin Finn- currently have two EPs out on digital channels: Filthy Glory (2016) and Breakfast Pizza (2023) and are in the process of writing new songs whilst gigging around London.
Expect them to roll punk, rock-n-roll and country influences around in a sticky, fuzzy pit. Their raucous and ramshackle live shows make them one not to be missed.

-Woman Wept- a quartet from London, bringing resting-bitch-face punk to any and every stage that will have them. Their signature sound shifts indie melodies into a gritty gear; every guitar lick, angsty lyric, fuzzy bass line, and crashing drums, tastefully crafted to make the patriarchy’s toe’s curl.

In the upstairs bar:
Naomi In Blue celebrates her album release with this very special show,

Raw, soulful, intimately moving, British-Chilean artist Naomi in Blue is a striking journey into guitar-driven power, introspective folk, nueva canción and shades of americana, all anchored in Naomi’s remarkable voice.

Tickets for both gigs are available online until 6pm, after that there will be some on the door!
