These boys have been gigging constantly in various bands since it all began for them back back in the mid 1990’s.
The live show is a homage to the greatest of the great Indie, Britpop and dance hits of that era and has been honed with spot on attention to detail with songs that are performed with energy and professionalism.

K.O.G + Afrodesia
Although incredible purveyor of Afrofuturism, Kweku aka K.O.G , has been to the Crescent as part of other projects like KOG & The Zongo Brigade and Onipa, this will be his first time alongside his own extended band. Support from Afrodesia, who played alongside Alogte Oho earlier in the year as well as at the Bishy Road Street Party. Expect fierce raps with political messages alongside Afrobeat, Hi Life and jazzy licks.
Burning Duck Comedy: Amy Gledhill
Amy is a multi award-winning comedian, actor and writer, and is the only act ever to be nominated for the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award twice in the same year. Following her hugely successful debut show, The Girl Before The Girl You Marry, Amy Gledhill returns with another stand-up offering.
Absolute Bowie
If you’re going to pay tribute to The Thin White Duke, you may as well get the best one around. ABSOLUTE BOWIE have been touring the UK & Europe for years, consistently selling out venues and we don’t expect this show to be any different.
Sanctum Sanctorium – The Darkside Of The 80’s
Formed through a mutual love of 80’s goth and alternative rock music. Sanctum Santorium are a live 6-piece band that faithfully recreate classic hits by artists such as The Cult, Killing Joke, Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Cure, Bauhaus and more. Smoke machines at the ready with the clothes and the attitude.
The Crescent Record Fair
A small fair with a great selection of vinyl records of many genres. 8 stallholders with lots of collectable and rare LPs and 45s and loads of bargains. Free admission. Bar open for refreshments.
Ryley Walker (solo) + Henry Parker
Having toured with the likes of Richard Thompson, and with a supporting slot for Dinosaur Jr. forthcoming—as well as a tremendous Bert Jansch tribute show behind him, wherein his hero Anne Briggs called him the ‘c word’—Walker has rubbed shoulders with the very best.
Burning Duck Comedy: Jeff Innocent
After a hugely successful first leg, British Comedian of the Year Winner and social media sensation Jeff Innocent is back for the second half of his debut nationwide tour, Smart Casual.
