The Green Ribbon Club

Dublin Castle · London

The Green Ribbon Club -The Green Ribbon Club play acoustic punk music, taking their inspiration from the rich heritage of non-conformism, equality, creativity and subversion that infuses the darker recesses of British history. The original Green Ribbon Club was Britain’s first political opposition party, set up by people more commonly know as Levellers. Many soldiers in the Parliamentary army unionised, they wore Green Ribbons or sprigs of Rosemary to signify their allegiance. These fine people are their musical, spiritual descendants. Bravo. Punk Roth - is that Wrath or Roth…well punky David Lee Roth could be the vibe here as it goes! Van Halen for Libertines heads! Deerbow - energised and energetic young band with an Arctic Monkeys meets Muse dynamic indie rock style. Peacock - lively and expressive funky rockers…orcrocking funkateers- either way a spiffing way to kick off the night. Loose Cannons - Loose Cannons is an originals Indie Rock band based in London, with music that ranges from dark melancholy to catchy upbeat. They channel 90s rock with a modern twist and sing about the complexity, nuances, pain and joy of life’s experiences…

Joe Kash

Dublin Castle · London

Joe Kash - urgent punky blues and folk tinged fare, often driven along by some searing slide guitar. Rootsy but rousing! Craic Killers - Politically engaged but witty London based Irish punker satirists with some superb in yer face agit punk statements and artful experimental passages attached to primal riffing workouts. Nice. Like Kneecap got in a scrum with the Lambrini Girls and Rudimentary Peni! FOGG- rock electro trio…World travellers, sound explorers, reptilian rockers and experimenters. FOGG is a brutal machine, heavy and synthesized with elegant and delicat lumps. They mix electronic music and its aerial textures with the burning fire coming out of a deep and groovy rock tune Their musical universe finds itself between the enchanted melodies of a Radiohead, the violent rock of a Led Zeppelin and the obsessive sequences of a Gesaffelstein. Mézinc - keys and drummer electronica with big beats… Ia drum/techno duo to blow away the cobwebs as the gig unfolds!

Liverpool2London

Dublin Castle · London

Vernons Future - Vernons Future have history back to indie’s golden age in 1980’s Liverpool, and they bring indie guitar pop of the old school - a mix of classic guitar jangle, with hints of 60s psychedelia. Acclaimed debut album ‘Smithdown Road’ (Melody Maker said it was “a fine debut in love with pop at its most unassuming and most charming”) came out on legendary Liverpool label Probe Plus in 1990, then The Vernons (as they were then known) promptly split before resurfacing in 2015 in Oxford/London as Vernons Future, releasing sophomore album ‘Aquaplaning’ and further standalone singles. St Vitus Dance are an acclaimed Belfast-formed post-punk/indie-pop band (est. 1981) known for their 60s-influenced sound, witty lyrics about Belfast life, and the 1987 album ‘Love Me, Love My Dogma’. Fronted by vocalist Noel Burke — who later joined Echo & The Bunnymen as singer-songwriter — the band moved to Liverpool, split in 1988, and reformed in 2005. In 2025, the band toured with Noel Burke to perform the 1990 Echo & The Bunnymen album Reverberation in full, with plans for new, original St Vitus Dance material in 2026, to follow on from the Probe Plus 2008 Glypotheq...

Doreen Doreen

Dublin Castle · London

Step into the vibrant world of Doreen Doreen, where every performance is a kaleidoscope of glitter, glamour, and unbridled entertainment. Born in the heart of Bristol’s eclectic music scene, Doreen Doreen emerged in 1982 as a dynamic force of creativity and flair. Forget everything you know about typical 10-piece cover bands; Doreen Doreen is a breed apart. Our lineup boasts some of Bristol’s finest musical talent, delivering a red-hot backline that sets the stage on fire. Upfront, a cacophony of voices—ranging from angelic to rock god—takes you on a wild ride of harmonies that teeter on the edge of chaos, but always land squarely on fabulous. But it’s not just about the music—it’s the unexpected twists and turns that define a Doreen Doreen performance. We’re the masters of incongruity, seamlessly blending Abba with Queen, Eurythmics with Erasure, and even Adele with The Beatles. It’s a musical journey you won’t find anywhere else. Desperately Seeking Suki– Female fronted melodic indie pop and bold art-pop with a fizzing synth energy — think Wolf Alice meets Yeah Yeah Yeahs — connecting with fans of Self Esteem, Ladyhawke and Dry Cleaning.
