Two very different evens. One special night 💥

What are you doing with your Friday❓️

▶️▶️▶️▶️ James Walsh

James first found success as the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist with multi platinum band Starsailor with whom he still tours and releases new music. Walsh released his first solo studio album, Lullaby, in 2012. Including his work with Starsailor, he has sold over three million albums globally.

▶️▶️▶️▶️ Smash, the messiest and sweatiest club night in Lancaster

A live appearance from Faroe Islands biggest and loudest vegan, q***r sh*tpunks!! The bisexual vegans, Joe & The Sh*tboys, punch with brief and catchy sh*tpunk songs. This band was formed with the intention of calling out sh*tty behaviour in the conservative Faroe Islands, where the rock scene is filled with boneless homophobes and misogynists, and elsewhere generally.

Make the weekend count!

🔺️Chris Hawkins from BBC 6 Music rocks up in Lancaster with his live music club night ‘Awesome Friends’ in association with GIRLBAND!, Tom A Smith & Morton Betts

Awesome bands. Awesome music Awesome friends 💟

Every music lover has woken up a bit too early to The Chris Hawkins show on BBC 6 Music and now it’s time to hear him at night, live, in Lancaster‼️
-Chris Hawkins has a standout show on BBC 6 Music championing alternative anthems and fresh sounds. Chris was an early supporter of emerging acts Sam Fender, Wet Leg and The Lathums, now all headline performers. Awesome Friends will serve as a platform for the same emerging, grass roots acts and those destined to be our future musical heavyweights.

The concept is to package this premise as a dynamic, vibrant live club night that features the most exhilarating up and coming acts and those next in line to dominate headline spots across the world. This could be the next Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall in 76, Glasgow’s King Tuts Wah Wah Hut in 93 or The Grapes Pub Sheffield in 03 and you will have the distinction of saying ‘you were there’.

🔺️GIRLBAND! are an alternative three-piece from Nottingham; A formidable force for good and a dynamic group that pull on influences from the 50s to the 90s, creating a joyous, natural musical palette cleanser like no other.
- A punk band making pop songs, influences include other seminal three-pieces such as Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana and The Police, as well female-led groups such as The Breeders, The Cranberries and The Pretenders. The girls are, in their own words, ‘a bulletproof wolfpack’.

🔺️TOM A SMITH is a 20 year old singer songwriter from Sunderland.
- Performing live since the age 12 doing open mic nights with North East legends such as Sam Fender.
- Has played most major UK festivals - including Glastonbury, Reading Leeds and BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend.

- Written and produced with Miles Kane and Hugo White (The Maccabees / 86TVs).
- Playlisted on Absolute Radio and Radio X with enthusiastic support from Jack Saunders, Chris Hawkins, John Kennedy, Jordan North and Greg James.

🧡 NEW GIG!!!! 🧡

Tickets 👇👇
https://fatso.ma/0OlA

The ex-Kaiser Chiefs’ songwriter/drummer unveiled Everyone Says Hi earlier in the Spring with debut single, Brain Freeze, which was quickly followed by a first live performance at Brighton’s Great Escape and a pair of sell-out headline dates in Hodgson’s hometown of Leeds and London. A second track, the electric torchlit ballad (and album opener), Somebody Somewhere, was shared last month.

Everyone Says Hi sees Nick adopt the role of lead singer/guitarist/frontman, and brings together musicians Pete Denton on bass, Glenn Moule on drums, keyboard player Ben Gordon (ex-members of The Kooks, The Howling Bells, and Liverpool’s The Dead 60s respectively), alongside Leeds based guitarist Tom Dawson. The band’s name is lifted from a David Bowie song of the same title. What you hear across its 10 tracks is high-calibre, beautifully sculpted songcraft performed by high-calibre, experienced players. Not so much showing ‘promise’ here, but instantly delivering bonafide ‘big songs’ that belie the band’s status as relative newcomers. The record was produced by Nick at London’s Snap Studios and at his home studio.

“Everyone Says Hi” is the fruits of a multi-platinum musician deciding to draw a line and start afresh. Back to the same bedroom floor where the first tentative notes were played, holding the same guitar that was played way back when, back to forming a band with trusted friends, and back to booking the sticky basement stages where teeth were first cut. But whilst you can metaphorically wipe the slate clean on most things, you cannot unlearn what you already know. If emotionally-driven, arena-ready songs come almost second-nature, you’d be foolish to ignore the gift you’ve been given.
