Renowned for having a great live sound The Spice of Life and Substance have worked together for over 18 years to bring the very best new music to the heart of the capital. "One of the best little venues in London" Evening Standard The Line up Deep Theory Poprock love merchant. You come to me for your next daydream. Deep Theory is a percussive, fingerstyle guitarist who lays down his groove on the back of an acoustic, often weaving in intricate arpeggios and a mellow baritone voice. His music blends John Mayer’s groove, The Eagles’ storytelling, and Tom Misch’s sun-drenched funk into catchy choruses—or as he calls them, “theories.” With immersive narratives and high crowd engagement, he brings a unique energy to the singer-songwriter space. These aren’t just songs—they’re raw, melodic confessions for the daydreamers, loners, and overthinkers. https://www.instagram.com/deeptheory_/ Bibi Donaldson Singer/ Songwriter based in North London htt...

Renowned for having a great live sound The Spice of Life and Substance have worked together for over 18 years to bring the very best new music to the heart of the capital. "One of the best little venues in London" Evening Standard The Line up Mamoko We are Mamoko. Fronted by London-based musician Charlie Suff. The band grew from a desire to build world with your closest friends where everyone is free to be strange, expressive, and completely themselves. The result is a project that sits somewhere between an emerging Arcade Fire and a riotous and angsty turn in step with The Strokes. and cathartic indie-rock saxophone-drenched, riff-driven, and anchoredby Suff's raw, poetic lead vocals. Suff has long been captivated by the tension between potential and self-doubt the way we can feel momentarily, brilliantly alive and then suddenly, inexplicably, in our own way. Mamoko channels that question into music that doesn't wait around for an answer. It leans into the chaos. It throws a party in the uncertai...

HDIF Family Disco - All-Ages Daytime Indie Club

The Phoenix Club · London

We've held the HDIF Children's disco at the End Of The Road festival since 2011, and they've been lots and lots of fun. We play our usual mixture of indie pop and soul, and the discos are a wonderful opportunity for kids to bop around to Belle & Sebastian, Allo Darlin', Ramones, Pixies and more, and for their parents to bop along with them. It can often be hard to get out to club nights once you become a parent, so these discos are as much a chance for the parents to go out dancing as they are for the kids. We also want to provide an alternative to the many rave-themed kids discos that are on offer in London. If you'd rather dance to your favourite indie pop and Motown songs with your children, then we're the disco for you! Music will be played at a reasonable level. We'll make sure that the songs aren't played too loud, but if you're worried about volume please do bring along ear defenders for your kids. Everyone is welcome at our kids discos - children, parents and family friends - but we follow similar rules to Coram's Fields - so no admission for adults unless they are accompanied by a child. About The Phoenix: The venue is a wonderful basement bar with a wooden dancefloor. Ent...

The Holy Mothers + Taurus Trakker + Brigandage

Dublin Castle · London

The Holy Mothers - Christmas is just around the corner, so the Holy Mother is needless to say at the forefront of our thoughts. But this be Mothers plural and it’s JoJo upfront , once of JoJo and the Teeth, much loved as they were for their strident, quirky punk n roll. So we await this new vehicle of JoJo’s with about the same excitement and anticipation as the thought of unwrapping Sindy and Action Man of a Xmas back in the day. With words like ‘ferocious’ ‘theatrical’ and ‘dark’ on the lips of admirers, breath is bated. Welcome back JoJo. Taurus Trakker - West London punk duo legends who in their spare time recently created a much applauded stage show/musical all about the rise of the punk rock phenomenon in the UK, it being the golden jubilee n all that. Great combo anyway, with rebel rock nuances that suggest The Clash without ever copying them. And one Mick Jones has been known to adjust knobs and sliders for them I believe so there ya go. Great stuff. Brigandage- with Michelle upfront, just as you’d want it, are well and truly back on the circuit playing those ringing, bright eyed and bushy tailed sassy punk numbers that got the them called Posipunk back in...
