To say that the exuberant appeal of The Bug Club’s live performances and songmanship has been spread by word of mouth is a bit of a contradiction, as you could never sum up the music produced by these three groovy peas in a far-out pod (musically and lyrically interesting, deliciously individual, stripped-back garage pop songs, which shimmy, bounce and slide from joyfully frenetic guitar riffs to melodious harmonies) in anything like one word.
Announcements
Hyde Family Jam – Album Launch – *SOLD OUT*
Friends! Come celebrate the launch of the brand new Hyde Family Jam album with a right thorough knees up at The Crescent on July 15th!
Burning Duck Comedy – Brennan Reece – *SOLD OUT*
Considering Brennan Reece has spent most of his life entertaining crowds he recently discovered he is not a people person. He’d much rather stay at home and listen to Dido in the bath. But after a couple of years of isolation, Brennan is ready to reconnect with real life humans in this brand new hour of hilarious stories, heartbreaking tales and exceptional crowd work.
Burning Duck Comedy – Jen Brister – *SOLD OUT*
If Jen Brister has learned anything in the past 18 months, it’s that she’s no good in a crisis. (Unless you count getting into the foetal position in under 30 seconds.) Has the pandemic changed her for the better or is she the same old pessimistic naysayer she’s always been? I think we all know the answer to that. Let’s just hope she can make it funny.

Plastic Mermaids
At the heart of Plastic Mermaids is the creative force of two brothers, Douglas and Jamie Richards, sons of a Gurnard boat-builder, who approach life like an art project, putting as much love into their band’s visual concepts and staging as they have into their unique brand of psych-rock and electronica.
