Esya & Annie-Claude Deschênes

Just Dropped In · Coventry

Eşya is the solo project from Ayşe Hassan (Savages); an unsettling, beat driven, and wonky exploration of alternate personas. Transgressing comfort zones by experimenting with the complex and contradictory ideas that can exist within one person. An industrial pop existential exploration -------- Annie-Claude Deschênes embraces multidisciplinarity in her quest to merge music and performance art, challenging stage conventions. A prominent figure in Montreal’s independent music scene for over twenty years, she gained recognition as the frontwoman of the cult bands Duchess Says and PyPy. Annie’s solo project marks a shift from aggression to dystopian disco vibes. Inspired by minimal pop and electronic pioneers, her debut album, LES MANIÈRES DE TABLE, is both danceable and disquieting, reexamining social codes of politeness.

The Klittens

Just Dropped In · Coventry

This five piece combines their love for pop music and dark sentiments with a punk ethos. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of artists - such as The Ronettes, MF Doom, Dry Cleaning and Kate Bush - they've crafted a sound that's truly and twistedly their own. What initially began as an outlet, both creatively and politically, mutated into a musical life mission for its members. Their DIY approach, from songwriting to releasing music and tour management, is what makes The Klittens the ragtag bunch of misfits they are. The band consists of Yaël Dekker (vocals), Winnie Conradi (guitar), Katja Kahana (guitar), Marrit Meinema (bass guitar), and Laurie Zantinge (drums).

Maria BC

Just Dropped In · Coventry

"Maria BC is a classically trained vocalist, a dexterous guitarist, and a songwriter with an innate gift for vast, stately melodies, but the defining strength of their music is the mood: an overarching melancholy that shadows everything like heavy storm clouds." — Pitchfork Ohio-born, Oakland, CA-based artist Maria BC (they/them) has slowly opened up their process over the years, moving from the one-room recording process of 2021 EP Devil’s Rain — careful not to disturb their roommates or neighbors — to the untreated apartment wanderings of Hyaline (2022, Father/Daughter), to the home of a family friend featuring an out-of-tune baby Steinway piano where they recorded their Sacred Bones debut, Spike Field (2023). 2026 will see the release of their sophomore Sacred Bones record Marathon — recorded across the West Coast, incorporating foley recordings of nature and creaking homes, out February 27th! Marathon is a dynamic exploration of endurance, of pushing forward, resisting, observing and surviving. “For this record I decided to spend less time on production and recording and more time on songwriting,” Maria BC explains. “The result, I think, is more thematically con...

The Early Years & Sennen

Just Dropped In · Coventry

The Early Years and Sennen head out for their first live dates together since 2007 on a UK tour this November. Now reunited as labelmates on celebrated indie imprint Sonic Cathedral, both bands grew out of the fertile UK shoegaze adjacent scene of the early 2000s – the former more influenced by krautrock and drone, the latter combining post-rock and harmonies – but they’ve been silent for the best part of a decade. Until now. The Early Years released their long-awaited third album, Modern Moonlight, at the end of May to great acclaim, while Sennen are also gearing up to share their first new material in over a decade.

Following past triumphs in many of Verdi’s signature baritone roles, Quinn Kelsey is the Scottish king haunted by the ghosts of his murderous ascent to the throne, opposite Lise Davidsen—the world’s reigning dramatic soprano—as the power-mad Lady Macbeth, whose ruinous ambition damns them both.

Tom Seals

Boisdale of Canary Wharf · London

'One of the UK's finest boogie woogie pianists and entertainers' — Jools Holland, Patron of Music, Boisdale 3. Main listing copy Jools Holland awarded him Boogie Woogie Artist of the Year at the Boisdale Music Awards. Tom Jones compared him to Little Richard. Noddy Holder put him in the top five boogie piano players in the world. Three opinions, all from people who have forgotten more about piano music than most of us will ever hear. Tom Seals has played Ronnie Scott's, Birdland on Broadway, the Blue Note, Glastonbury, Montreux Jazz Festival and Hyde Park supporting Pink Floyd. He represented Britain at Expo 2020 Dubai, performing solo to 7,000 people in the Al Wasl Dome with Prince William in the audience. He has a 13-week Sky TV series to his name and toured the London Palladium in 2025 with Strictly's Aljaž and Janette. He also regularly does duelling pianos with Jools Holland, which tells you everything you need to know about where he sits in this world. None of that changes what a Tom Seals show at Boisdale actually feels like, which is a Tuesday night that gets considerably better once he sits down at the piano. Boogie woogie, jazz, swing, singalongs and enough wit and war...
