Fri 17th July 2026 - Eclectic Mayhem 15!!

Original Bands! Come and play a 30 minute set and Claptrap alongside 4 other original bands!
First 5 bands to fill this form in - play! It's that easy.
No waiting lists or unanswered emails. This is the future.
This is the form ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
https://claptrap.wufoo.com/forms/s66mj630enw2yh/

Small print:
• Please check your entire band is available to play the date BEFORE filling in the form.
• All original music. No covers. There are plenty of other venues which cater for covers - but this event is specifically to showcase original music.
• We have FAST turnarounds of 10 minutes between bands. Everyone shares our house drum set (bring cymbals/snare/pedal aka breakables) to make turnaround between bands quick.
• Every player takes an equal split of all ticket & door money.
• There is no guest list. Everyone pays £5 in. Partners, Parents, Personal Trainers, otherwise it's not fair. No-one would ask of course - but we'll mention it, just in case.

It's our 15th Eclectic Mayhem! Our previous 14 have all been brilliant - In fact if you've played, or been to a previous one, give us a little message below to tempt any bands on the fence to dive into the mayhem!
(Unless you hated it. In which case - shut your face.)
