Events on Sunday 2nd August
“Sophie Sutton is acoustic pop with pure heart, humour and vulnerability. Blending bittersweet, carefully-crafted lyrics with a strong soprano voice and sophisticated guitar playing, Sophie takes inspiration from the cheeky wit of Lily Allen, the jazz stylings of Lianne La Havas, and today’s indie-pop trailblazers such as Phoebe Bridgers and Chappell Roan.”

“We will explore the music of the Sacred Harp, a tunebook first published in the 1840s and still in print today. It's a singing tradition with a rich culture and deep roots, evocative of little wooden churches in the woods, wild harmonies and powerful emotions. There will be plenty of opportunities to chat and ask questions, and we'll take a break with tea and snacks.”

“Following a string of sell-out events, SLEAZE returns to Thekla this August 7th, delving into the iconic era of club culture. We’ll be looking back to the early 2000s and the artists who are reinventing sleaze culture today, as we spin only the best in electro-indie and hyperpop, all night long.”
