The Music - Upstairs

 

Eve Appleton Band

Eve Appleton Band (or EAB) as a project has taken on personal tales of hardship, glee and everything inbetween. Expect to hear 60s folk revival, americana and alternative folk.

The rising stars ground themselves solidly in folk traditions with echos of Joan Baez. Laced with exquisite storytelling EAB's songs are not only poignant but extremely danceable and uplifting, a rare quality for ones so young.

Crowned the Green man Rising of 2023, playing a host of festivals and venues ever since, they are in the process of releasing some beautifully composed and curated tracks.

 

Trans-Siberian Express

Trans-Siberian Express are a six-piece psychedelic rock band from Bristol, blending post-punk energy, funk grooves and experimental synth-driven chaos. Built around a driving bass-and-drum backbone, their dual synths, guitars, and varied vocals freely shift each track between genres, balancing heartfelt songwriting with surreal humour and high-energy live performances.

Since forming in 2022, the band have built a strong creative community through collaborative music videos, events and visual projects, releasing their debut EP Splurge-Pop in 2025 ahead of their debut album due in 2026.

 

Melrose

Melrose is an artist and songwriter based in London UK, exploring the boundaries of modern and traditional folk through intimate story telling through haunting vocals and delicate finger style guitar. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Bon Iver, Adrienne Lenker, her poetry takes you on a journey through themes of love, loss and a connection to the natural world. 

Her latest single Heather, a lilting folk song inspired by her time living in a car in Scotland, encapsulates a feeling of peaceful joy and freedom through soft harmonies and aching lap steel guitar.

 

The Exhibition - Downstairs

 

Annabelle Keyes

Lingering within a synthesis of the gritty terrestrial and the mythical divine, her work explores the eternal and universal pursuit of home. This investigation has shifted toward the tools we fabricate and the alchemical magic integral to our ability to construct. Created in Bristol since her move to the city in Autumn 2025, this body of work is deeply influenced by Bristol’s vibrant, folky spirit and the ancient sites that encircle it.

Guided by synchronicity, Annabelle aligns this ongoing search for sanctuary with a pilgrimage through the wilderness, collecting and painting the talismanic waymarkers in the periphery, { lost keys, hagstones, metal scraps, weathered artefacts, dappled sunlight } fragments often left unnoticed, here repositioned as an archive of sacred, navigational imagery.
