perspex released their ace debut album to absolutely zero fanfare back in May so we thought we’d belatedly throw a party to celebrate. Trueman & The Indoor League are back with a reshuffled line-up featuring one of the guitarists from Captain Starlet who open. So there you have it. It’s a party. We’ll likely have some DJs in the front bar and there will be refreshments available.

Isle Of Wight rock and roll band Coach Party come to York for the first time as part of the Music Venue Trust’s Revive Live campaign.
Tide Lines + Katie Spencer
Tide Lines formed in Glasgow in 2016 but are deeply rooted in rural Scotland. Originally from the Highlands, their roots run from the Hebridean Islands to Lochaber; through Alness and Lossiemouth to the West End and South Side of Glasgow.
Wolfgang Flür (Kraftwerk) + Peter Duggal
A member of Kraftwerk during the group’s golden era, Wolfgang Flur was the band’s electronic percussionist from 1973 to 1987.
In 2022 Wolfgang released a monster new album called Magazine 1 featuring contributions from a host of expert musicians including Peter Hook, Juan Atkins, MAPS, Midge Ure & U96.
Ye Vagabonds + Alain McFadden
Brothers Brían and Diarmuid Mac Gloinn grew up playing music together around their hometown of Carlow, a small town in the southeast of Ireland. After moving to Dublin in 2012, they quickly became a staple of the live music and session scene in Ireland, playing their own original songs as well as folk songs from Ireland, Scotland, England and America.
Jane Weaver + Jake Mehew
Abusing, evading, and obliterating 20 years of whimsical pop trends, Jane Weaver’s experience as a truly independent and resilient songwriter and sound-carrier commands respect and inspiration in equal measures. As an unshakable figure in the UK’s experimental pop music landscape her self-propelled career has in recent years reached a critical zenith with unanimous praise for her work.
Yorkshire Day: A Night Of Arts
Yorkshire Day is celebrated on the 1st August (we know we’re a little early!) and was founded by the Yorkshire Ridings Society in 1974 as a way to defiantly celebrate the county’s history and heritages. Come to Yorkshire Day: A Night of Arts to learn more about Yorkshire Day.
Breabach – *AT THE NCEM, YORK*
Securely ranked among Scotland’s most skilled and imaginative contemporary folk acts, Breabach unite deep roots in Highland and Island tradition with the innovative musical ferment of their Glasgow base.
Niteworks
Niteworks are Innes Strachan (synth/keys), Allan MacDonald (pipes), Christopher Nicolson (bass) and Ruairidh Graham (drums). Childhood friends and long-term fellow musicians from the Isle of Skye, Niteworks blur the lines between Scottish traditional, folk and Gaelic music with contemporary electronica, creating a unique and exhilarating sound.
