Solo guitar wanders from AT (fka Holome and 50% of Phantasy). Clean prepared guitar travelling through beautiful river-flowing ever changings. Meandering through the softer rocks
Michael Flower

H.S.Heron Presents Martin Manning, TBC , Gladboy with Art + Lightshow
2025-12-13 19:00 - 23:00
Avant-Pop, Hypnagogia, Queer Punk, Rock and/ or Roll
Art and Light show
Gladboy
Gladboy have one of the underground’s most unique and frenetic live shows. Teetering on the edge of collapse, they are confounding – occasionally ear-piercing – but always melodic.
The band formed in 2017, starting their garage rock racket in a now-demolished eyesore in Norwich. In that time, they’ve cultivated a prolific live profile, supporting the likes of Westside Cowboy, Willie J Healey, English Teacher, The Orielles, Brix Smith Start (The Fall), Laundromat, The Cool Greenhouse and Jeffrey Lewis.
Press highlights include The Guardian, Far Out, DIY Magazine, as well as BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 6 Music.
Following a sold-out run supporting English Teacher’s sold out album tour for their Mercury Prize-winning debut This Must be Texas, Gladboy are back with a full length album on the horizon.

Martin Manning
Conjured from a dream, the multi-faceted Martin Manning emerges from our subconscious.
Haunting the waterways of Yorkshire with harps and broken drum machines, they recite poetry of the mother hill. These Avant Pop Megastars forge fractured dance music with pop at its hearth, evoking shades of Cabaret Volatire, Dean Blunt & Arthur Russell.
“What a year to be alive, as Martin Manning turns 45!”
Draags
Hyper-disassembled queer punk wonkcore is a direct sucker punch to capitalism and the oppressive state. They want everyone involved in a frenzied ecstasy of queer rage and to share a radical message of love and connection.
Confrontational and deranged but also inclusive and fun fun fun!

Seven by Seven is a friendly open decks vinyl playing session. You can bring along and play us seven of your 7” 45rpm vinyl singles – hence Seven by Seven – or just come and listen to others play. The 7” 45rpm format is the only limitation. We don’t dictate the type of music – you can play whatever you want to, and we relish that variety!

No DJ skills are needed, and our ethos is – no pressure, no competition, no egos.

Please get there early to put your name down. We draw names out for the running order and later arrivals may be too late to be drawn. We also sometimes reduce the number of records that some people can play if we have high numbers attending – but we do try to fit in as many seven record sets as possible.

Seven by Seven is a non-commercial operation. We run our sessions purely for the joy of playing and listening to records as a shared experience.

Vipertime
Born in the snake pit of Leeds house parties, aggro-jazz four-piece Vipertime have earned a ferocious reputation making a series of incendiary appearances at venues and festivals across the UK, honing their craft while pushing their line up of saxophone, bass and twin drum sets to its sonic limits. Music of joy and rebellion.
“I wouldn’t mind hanging out somewhere that was going on” – Iggy Pop
Marco Woolf
Marco Woolf’s music can prove complex to categorise, known for his introspective lyrics, dreamlike storytelling, and carefully crafted instrumentation—each element given equal emotional weight. His critically acclaimed EP ‘Francine, i’ was hailed as “light, complex, rich and immediate” by Pan African Music Magazine, with its limited 12” vinyl selling out in just 24 hours. The project gained widespread support from BBC 6Music, Jazz FM, and international radio.

I'd Rather Be A Cowgirl
2026-03-28 19:30 - 23:00
The Ballad of Red Wednesday & Duck Williams, outlaws on the run searching for the myth of Halcyon. Asking that all important question: “Is being a cowgirl all it’s cracked up to be?” A tale of gender exploration, found family, and surviving in the harsh world of the American West. Join Red Wednesday, Duck Williams, and the musicians of Them There Cowboys round the campfire for a queer tale of adventure, found family, and exploring who you really want to be. Duck Williams is a runaway who doesn’t ever want to look back, Red Wednesday’s a mysterious and striking cowgirl who’s feared across the West, and holds her cards to her chest. Duck is questing for the mythical town of Halcyon… if they can find it, and if it even exists at all… Red takes Duck under her wing, but is Duck just grateful for her help and companionship, or is there a deeper affinity with the idea of being a cowgirl, and embracing what they had been forced to repress? Interwoven with the musical storytelling and Queer Cuntry Stylings of Them There Cowboys. A story to warm your heart but make your hair stand on end, as you’re swept along for the ride of your life in wide open plains.

Please Please You & Heinous Whining presents EarthBall
2026-04-23 19:30 - 23:00
EARTHBALL are a wild ensemble from Canada, mainly based on Vancouver Island. EarthBall’s live shows epitomise their commitment to spontaneous composition, offering audiences a unique experience with each performance. The last two years have seen EarthBall release their debut LP ‘It’s Yours’ and a live album entitled ‘Actual Earth Music – Volume 1 & 2’ featuring Chris Corsano and Steve Beresford on Upset The Rhythm. This winter they returned with their best effort to date ‘Outside Over There’ – a gathering of sound at the forest’s edge; where feedback, saxophone screams, and ecstatic vocals dissolve the boundary between chaos and clarity. Perhaps John Olson of Wolf Eyes sums up the album best: “Outside Over There is an eight-track odyssey that unfolds like a dreamscape, where whispered incantations brush against the shadowy fringes of the cosmos, and wild, Cézanne-inspired rock anthems erupt like geysers of color in the midst of a western warm and wet rain storm… culminating in the sprawling eleven-minute masterpiece, ‘And The Music Shall Untune The Sky,’ aptly dubbed the Earth Crusher. A creation so utterly deconstructed and intertwined with the pulse of nature itself that if AI was called upon to conceive ‘Outside Over There’ anew, it would just spit back, “F.U. in Tree Font”. An enchanting invitation for even the flat-earthers to join the circle, if only just a little.”
