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...

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.

Ok nothing like that. Very good tho. Gripper Lee - post punk and Goff flavours with a powerhouse delivery. Named of course after the blind one from Peters and Lee who was also the only sightless wrestler to kick Big Daddy’s ass on World of Sport back in the day.

The Skapones - Paul Willo and his super skanking ska machine from the North East have fashioned the most original 2 tone inspired music on the circuit over the years. Check out their myriad ace albums on streaming platforms and buy the hard copies at this gig- you won’t be disappointed! Live it’s an even more fulfilling experience. The Skapones are a wonderful night out, what with their progressive pop reggae and high energy skanking bangers, both originals and choice left field covers (Frankie’s ‘Two Tribes’ for instance)…it all makes for a tremendous end product, perhaps as you’d expect from someone like Willo who’s been an insider at The Specials camp for years now. Great to have them back. Support from The Skavengers - ‘Boss sounds and ruder than rude, ska classics and original skanks. Fuck art, let’s dance!’ Not many Benny! Bubounce - 8 Piece ska outfit doing highly charged versions of 2 Tone tunes but mixing it up with a bit of early Dexys (Geno), all done quite faithfully and with a bit of verve so a very good live proposition.

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.

So much so infamous Trump bating U.S rapper Common has been known to jump up on our Dublin Castle stage and spit goodness to their righteous rumble. Right on.

The cyclical riffs and punk funk sensibilities cry ‘post punk’ (Gang of Four, The Fall, Bogshed) but the pop heft of the tunes is something else, plus a frontman who is adamant he’s not called Burt puts in a proper, PROPER swiftly up there. Great, cutting vocals too. Ace. Not unlike the mighty Cud too. What more do you want...
