The John Otway Big Band
The world needs mavericks. One-offs. Bloody chuffed to bring John and his big band back to York for the first time since 2008.
It’s Otway on steroids if you can imagine that. Otway with ROCK. All the hits and more but with other just-as-nutty musicians to bounce off. You’ll leave this show with an aching jaw from laughter and a sore throat from singing along. And joy in your heart that such a show can even exist in this day and age.
Kris Drever + Heather Cartwright
Cherished and admired in equal measure by listeners and fellow musicians, award-winning guitarist, singer, songwriter and prolific collaborator Kris Drever has been a leading light on the UK roots scene for well over a decade.
An Dannsa Dub + Irie Vibes DJs
Music is one big conversation. And few bands live at the heart of it like An Dannsa Dub.
Born from a love of traditional Scottish folk, dub reggae and dance music, together they summon the joyous, communal energy of a cèilidh and a sound system session.
BandSoc Presents: Farewell Fest
As some of you may know, a lot of established BandSoc bands are leaving us at the end of this year. Before they all go off and get real jobs, we thought it would be a great idea to get a few of them together and throw one last big gig with them, some sort of ‘Farewell Festival’.
Sonic Boom Six + Zen Baseballbat
Sonic Boom Six is an explosive and outspoken five-piece described as “taking ska, pop, grime, dubstep, punk and metal apart, then rebuilding them as a hyperactive hybrid” (Kerrang! Magazine).
With a live show infamous for “clashing activism and good times”, SB6’s legendary gigs are a party that started in Manchester, UK, transcending genres and connecting people from all walks of life. The Boom’s influences include The Specials, The Streets, Rage Against The Machine and The Fugees.
Thank + Fashion Tips
The Rock Band Thank From Leeds’ concoction of anxious disco grooves, harsh noise freakouts and inscrutable sprechgesang bluster was borne out of their hometown’s notorious – and now sadly defunct – DIY collective CHUNK.
