Events on Monday 18th November

“Mrs Gerrish prepares herself for a morning of queueing. She goes through her checklist: Ration book? Check. Identity card? Check. Gas Mask? Check. “Is your journey really necessary?” Yes it bloomin’ well is! Clothing coupons? Check. That smoke-damaged dress in the window of Grafton’s Ladies Outfitters on Castle Street was going to be hers at any cost. No ‘make-do-and-mend’ today.”

“After a jammed packed summer Dutch Criminal Record are bringing their explosive indie sound too Bristol with a headline show at the Crofters Rights as part of the tour celebrating their upcoming single Vinnetrow Road. After appearing at The Harbourside festival earlier this year and selling out The Louisiana this show will be one of the hottest events this winter.”

“Heading across the Atlantic following her stunning third album ‘Highway Queen’, Nikki Lane brings country music filled with potent lyrics and unbridled blues guitars from Nashville to Bristol. With Loretta Lynn/Emmylou Harris-style vocals Lane’s decade of songwriting has cultivated “a boisterous collection of firecracking outlaw country.” (The Guardian). With soaring lap steel guitars blening with Lane’s soulful and husky vocals, expect a sound that has both postmodern sheen and traditional country at its heart.”

“Hailed as “the most convincing folk band to come out of Ireland in years” (The Guardian), Rough Trade’s Lankum return to the stage in support of their much-anticipated third album. Encompassing the spirit of traditional folk tales, the four-piece tackle everything from murder ballads to drinking songs. Combining haunting vocal melodies, uilleann pipes, concertina, accordion, fiddle and guitar, the group take the terrors of the modern world and turn them into raucously, refreshing contemporary anthems. This punk fervour perfectly captures their experimental attitude, with a stage show that offers a mysterious and dimly-lit deep dive into the minds of one of Dublin’s finest exports.”

“As “one of the great songwriters of his time” (New York Times), Cass McCombs has become renowned for his soulful, contemporary Americana. Over the course of his extensive career, the California native has carried his astute lyricism across eight albums.”
