Rudi Lloyd-Benson is originally from the smallest city in the U.K, St Davids, Pembrokeshire. recently relocated to Cardiff.

Nerorgasmo Vs Dread Messiah!

Dublin Castle · London

Nerorgasmo - excellent Italian hardcore band from Torino formed by Luca "Abort" and Simone (ex Blue Vomit!) originally active between 1984 and 1987. In 1993 Nerorgasmo played a reunion show and have revisited their momentous music often enough to never fade away from the hearts of minds of their Italian fans, but this is the first time they’ve played on British soil. This, their first ever London performance is set fair to be a legendary event in the alt/punk/thrash annals… Especially as they’ll be joined on this bill by equally legendary London thrash monsters Dread Messiah, a band that play with such joyfully confrontational intensity they captivate any audience any time. Not to be missed then. Guru Honey Badger - Rachel Darq’s esteemed high drama sex and death gothic punk rock machine is now fully manned, or womaned more accurately, and is delivering the goods somewhere between the Banshees, Nina Hagan and an X rated Kate Bush. New single, the provocatively titled ‘Gold Fanny’ is a belter.

Green Note · London

Two leading lights of the modern day folk-guitar scene take their annual mid-winter concert on the road; an intimate solo set from each musician precedes a rare and joyous moment of collaboration to guide us gently into the festive season. Katie Spencer has become renowned across the UK, for her acute personal songwriting, performed with a signature deep vibrato vocal and a crystal-clear guitar style. She draws influence from Joni Mitchell, Judee Sill and Michael Chapman yet makes the music inimitably her own. Her latest album What Love Is, released in Autumn 2025 was met with critical acclaim, landing at #12 in the Official Folk Charts and achieved glowing praise in the nation's music press, described as “a master-class of inspired and beautifully-sounding craftsmanship” by KLOF Magazine. “Her articulate picking, with suggestions of folk and jazz, frames intelligently written songs and is the backbone to her music” Guitarist Magazine Henry Parker’s intricate folk guitar playing leans heavily into the open-tuned stylings of Bert Jansch and Nick Drake, whilst his own original songwriting dwells on themes of folklore, landscape and the environment.
